DIY Mini Tesla Coil 9V

What is a Tesla Coil?
A Tesla Coil is a simple coil that creates a high voltage electric field in the air when a small input power is provided, this electric filed is strong enough to glow small light bulbs. This principle was invented by the Nicolas Tesla, who also holds the credit for inventing Induction Motors, AC current, neon bulbs, Remote controls etc..

Flip Flops

Flip flops or latches can also be understood as Bistable Multivibrator as two stable states. Generally, these latch circuits can be either active-high or active-low and they can be triggered by HIGH or LOW signals respectively.
