LabHighCurrentLoadPotentiometer_schem

Schematic drawing of a transistor controlling a DC motor with a voltage divider. The drawing is similar to the schematic with the potentiometer, but the potentiometer has been replaced with a variable resistor and a fixed 10-kilohm resistor in series. The two resistors are connected to the regulator's output pin and ground, respectively. The junction where they meet is connected to the transistor's 1-kilohm resistor.
