the same effect, as shown below:

The remarkable flexibility of this circuit means that in the design of any
circuit there is usually more than one correct solution, sometimes in an
examination, part of the circuit is drawn for you, so that the number of
correct solutions are limited, but if you are designing your own circuit, then
you are free to choose whatever solution you want provided that it satisfies
your own design criteria.
In all of the above circuits we have not considered possible output devices
that could be connected to the comparator. The output current of many
comparators is limited to a range of between 30mA and 300mA. This is of no
use for driving high powered output devices like motors, or solenoids.
However it is capable of driving LEDs with an appropriate series resistance,
to limit the voltage across the LED to approximately 2V, buzzers, and some
low power lamps.
