Switches are used to turn electrical appliances on or off, or to
change electrical connections.

The light in your refrigerator is activated by a switch. Each of the
buttons on your computer keyboard controls a switch, and there
are several switches in the computer’s mouse.

Build the circuit as shown. Set the meter (M5) to the 1A
scale.

Assembly

Push the press switch (S2) to turn on the circuit. Flip the
slide switches (S5) and see what happens. You may need
to give the fan a push with your finger to get it started.

Operation

The slide switches direct the electricity between the
different circuit paths (each has a lamp). You will learn more
about switches later.
