Question
In step 4, was the potential at the lower side of D1, pulled higher or lower relative ground by the jumper wire ?
In Step 4, was the potential at the low
side of D1, 'pulled' higher or lower,
relative to ground, by the jumper
wire?
Higher. This is a pull-up connection.
The potential was not pulled higher, or lower,
because it remained unchanged.
The potential was not pulled, it was pushed.I
still did not read the title of this lab
assignment.
Lower. This is a pull-down connection.

STEP 4
Remove the jumper wire you added in Step 3
and connect it in parallel with D1 instead, as
shown here:
D1
R1
D2
Red
330 Q
Blue
PSB
5 V
This time D1 will be shorted and go out, while
D2 becomes brighter.
With the jumper connecting the low side
of D1 directly to the positive breadboard
rail, what will be the new potential of that
junction point, relative to ground?
• Was the potential of that junction point
pulled up (higher) or down (lower),
relative to ground by the jumper wire?
