Common mistakes when using a breadboard

1. Not connecting wires in the correct rows. Rows are electrically interconnected so if you put the wires across different rows then they won't be connected.
2. If the wires are loose then the circuit won't have maximum functionality.
3. Some components have polarity and the direction they are connected to the breadboard matters. For example an LED has two different leg lengths; the longer leg represents the positive side and has to be connected to the battery pack's red lead, and the shorter leg represents the negative side and has to be connected to the battery pack's black lead. A resistor does not have polarity.
4. Be wary of different jumper cables; the different amount of lengths the more compact and organized the circuit.
