5. The following circuit is designed to
be a burglar alarm that will turn on a
buzzer if the burglar steps on a switch
or breaks a light beam.
Some of the components have been
left out.

Complete the circuit so that it would

work properly.

6. Complete the following circuit so that you could use it to switch on a light when it gets dark.

7. What would happen if you replaced the light in the circuit in question 6 with a small electric
motor (say a 6V 200 mA one)? Explain your answer.
