For each question make a circuit using only the parts listed. When the circuit works,
draw a very neat circuit diagram reflecting the circuit you made. Use a ruler. Answer the
questions. Show all switches in the diagrams as OPEN. Any inappropriate use of
equipment means you will sit on the bench in the office.
