[am4show have='p8;p9;p24;p51;p107;p58;' guest_error='Guest error message' user_error='User error message' ]Lie Detectors are electronic circuits that are able to measure your skin's resistance. When you sweat (or if your skin is wet), the resistance is different than if it's dry.
However since most people don't sweat when they lie, this type of detector isn't the most reliable type of detector around, but it's one of the simplest to create. We're going to build one from simple electronic components like resistors, capacitors, and transistors.
Our lie detector uses a speaker that changes pitch depending on the resistance of your skin - it's much more entertaining than blinking an LED on or off. You can think of this circuit as more of a skin humidity indicator. Are you ready?
Materials:
- Breadboard (2"x3", 400-hole)
- Hookup wire (AWG 22g, solid), 6 feet
- 4.7K-ohm resistor
- 100K-ohm resistor
- PN2222A or 2N3904 (NPN) transistor
- 2N3906 or 2N4403 (PNP) transistor
- 0.01 micro-f (μf) capacitor – Code on capacitor: 103
- 8-ohm speaker
- 9V battery snap and fresh 9V battery
Please review the material list for Unit 14. It provides a link to hookup wire at Jameco.com.
Keep in mind that hookup wire is just solid core wire. It is the same as the jumper wires used in other breadboard projects.
where can I get the hookup wire???
I would remove it from the circuit and build the circuit again. Sounds like you ran power to the wrong leads. Try again! It happens to everyone.
My 2N3906 transistor got hot and my speaker didn’t make any noise. How can I fix it?
