Fan needs a large current, logic gates only supply a low current
The most complicated diagram you could be asked
Light a bulb when it is HOT and DARK and a swtich is turned on
Hot = 1
Thermister
First step?
Cold = 0
Second step?
Light = 1
LDR
Dark = 0
On/off
Switch
On = 1
off = 0
Last step?
The Bistable or Latch gate
SET
output
RESET
You are only ever expected to say how it works like this:
1. When SET becomes on the output switches ON……..
2. Even if SET becomes off the output stays ON
3. If the RESET becomes on the output becomes OFF

Transformers
Transformers are used to _____ __ or step down
_______. They only work on AC because an ________
current in the primary coil causes a constantly alternating
_______ ______. This will “_____” an alternating
current in the secondary coil.
Words – alternating, magnetic field, induce, step up, voltage
Transformers
Transformers are used to step up or step down voltage.
They only work on AC because an alternating current in
the primary coil causes a constantly alternating magnetic
field . This will “induce” an alternating current in the
secondary coil.
Words – alternating, magnetic field, induce, step up, voltage
