Whoa, Silver! Let's stop right here, for a little consideration.

Now, how do I put this politely...: you're in *desparate* need of some
very basic education about how electricity works. I strongly advise
you stop thinking about microprocessors for a while and go back to
lamps, batteries, switches, and maybe some resistors. Learn how they
actually behave, learn Ohm's law, Kirchhoff's node and loop rules, and
what the symbols in an electronics schematic actually mean.
