Please help about transistor as switch

This circuit came out of a book? This is not a very good example of how to bias transistor as a switch...how do they explain R2?

What seems to be the problem? Have you breadboarded the circuit? What do you mean by drawing...?

PS: You can get rid of R1, it is not needed, just connect switch to ground

i mean by drawing the circuit

Switch at position A
lamp on

lamp on

switch at position b
lamp on
lamp on
lamp off

i rely dont know i simulate circuit it work like that, i am a beginner
 


FvM has been right all along. For the circuit to work, you will need some base bias resistors, the value of each base resistor must be atleast 10 times the load resistor

The problem is that people have different ideas what should be considered as on-state or, referring to hardware, which kind of indicator for on-state should be used.

In the original schematic, if you observe voltage drop across the load resistors, you run into confusion. godfreyl is of course right, that you still get the expected state indication if you observe the collector current. But that's only reasonable if you don't want to connect a real hardware indicator, e.g. a filament lamp, LED or relay.

A base resistor gives full collector voltage swing and allows to connect a voltage driven state indicator.

yes like this is working if i add resistor in base thnx? But in parallel no

SO I HAVE TO ADD BASE RESISTOR? BUT WHY IN BOOK HE SAY WITHOUT RESISTOR IN PARALLEL? I DONT KNOW HOW IT WORKS CIRCUIT?
 

Circuit in book only has ONE lamp.

Yes, and it's expected to work as is. The curious thing is that michael 1978 is seeing three "bubbles" (lamps? meters?) somewhere, but we don't know in which circuit. Neither we know which circuit produced the strange ampere readings in post #20. The "book" circuit in post #22 is given without any resistor values.

yes but i read one book, he put three bubles...

This is the circuit from the book.
I don't see three bubles.
What do you mean by "bubles"?


@FvM: I think this is hopeless, the OP's command of English is too poor. Maybe if he told us what his home language is, somebody could explain to him in his own language.

yes but i read how it works in book? And i put the lamp in place of resistors

yes you right
 

Hello dude,May i know reason for how power loss is more
