LabHighCurrentLoadVDivider_bb

Breadboard drawing of a transistor controlling a DC motor with a pushbutton. The drawing is similar to the breadboard drawing with the potentiometer, but the potentiometer has been removed and a light-dependent resistor is now in rows 6 and 9 in the right center section, A fixed 10-kilohm resistor connects row 9 to the ground bus on the right side. A green wire connects row 9, to row 12 where it connects to the transistor's 1-kilohm resistor.
