Electronics is the science of working with and controlling
electricity.
Build the circuit as shown. Set the meter (M5) to the 5V
scale.
Assembly
Set the right slide switch (S5) to “C” to turn on the circuit.
The meter (M5) measures the voltage. The compass is
attracted to the electromagnet (M3). The left slide switch
(S5) can bypass the bottom lamp. Pushing the press switch
(S2) will spin the fan.
Operation
This circuit spreads the electricity from the batteries into
four
parallel sub-circuits to do different things. Connecting
electrical components in parallel means they are between
the same points in a circuit. You will learn about parallel
circuits later.
Description
!
WARNING: Moving parts.
Do not touch the fan or
motor during operation. !
WARNING:
Do not lean
over the motor.

electricity can be used
to do lots of different
tasks at once.
