Lab

Double Throw switch with alternating output activation. The output lights are purposely attached to the alternate fans to show how to reverse outputs if wanted.

An interactive resistor, lamp, fan and battery circuit built in the DCACLab online simulator by Tim Grey. Open it to run the simulation and measure it.
