Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

This circuit is designed to control a DC motor's speed using a potentiometer and a rocker switch to turn the motor on and off. The motor's speed is adjusted by varying the resistance of the potentiometer, which in turn changes the voltage applied to the motor. A 9V battery provides the power source for the circuit.
