3-Position Switch
Educational Corner:
Some switches can be very complex, switching groups of parts on or off at once.
Electric Paths
1A
1A
Push the press switch (S2) to turn on the right lamp and
use the slide switches (S5) to control the other parts. The
meter measures the circuit current.
Operation
This circuit uses both slide switches to simulate a larger
switch controlling many things.
This circuit has 3 lamps and 1 motor. When the press switch
is pushed, 2 of these will always be on - you can’t set the
slide switches to control more or less.
Description
Build the circuit and set the meter (M5) to the 1A scale.
Assembly
Snappy says: watch how the right lamp gets
dimmer when the motor is turned on. The
batteries can’t supply as much current as the
motor wants, so the voltage drops a little.
