LabHighCurrentLoadPotentiometer_bb

Breadboard drawing of a transistor controlling a DC motor with a pushbutton. The drawing is similar to the previous breadboard drawing, but the pushbutton has been removed and a potentiometer is now in rows 7 through 9 in the right center section of the board. Row 7 is also connected to the right side regulated voltage bus through a red wire, and row 9 is connected to the right side ground bus through a black wire. Row 8 is connected to row 12 where it connects to the resistor.
