1. Closed Circuit
E-Blox
®
Circuit Blox™ uses electronic blocks that plug into a
clear plastic grid to build different circuits. These blocks have
different colors and numbers on them so that you can easily
identify them.
Build the circuit shown on the left by placing all the parts
that plug into the rst layer base. Then, assemble the parts
that connect to the secondary layer. Install three (3) “AA”
batteries (not included) into the battery holder (91). Secure
the battery cover before using it.
Pressing the switch (62) creates a closed circuit; the lamp
(76) will turn on. Press it again to open the circuit and the
lamp (76) will turn off.
2. Magnetic Switch
Replace the switch (62) with the reed switch (83). If you
touch the reed switch (83) with magnet (7), you will light up
the lamp (76). If you move the magnet (7) away from the
reed switch (83), the lamp (76) will be turned off. This is a
“no touch” switch!
3. The ‘Momentary’ Switch
Replace the switch (62) with the press switch (61), then
press the press switch (61). The lamp (76) will be turned
on. Release the press switch (61) and the lamp (76) will be
turned off. This type of switch is called a ‘momentary’ switch
since it is only on when pressed.
