Step 2Wiring up the Circuit

Wiring up the Circuit

The circuit is simply battery, switch, resistor, motor, battery. The photo shows how I've connected this, using the spare terminals on the switch to anchor the resistor so it's not dangling in the wiring. (The resistor is shorted out in the 'off' position but the feed from the battery is disconnected so no current flows.) The resistor is there to reduce the current taken, slow the motor down a bit and increase the battery life.
