I am putting together a series of basic circuits as I am learning them. Thanks to various source out there we are able to pick up the basics really fast. This one and much more, I used the help of Learneletronics https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSRTiJhBE5GsP-1fCbpFRWg channel on Youtube. He put together a really nice series to teach you the basics circuits you should know.
The switch will drive the transistor and it is easy to see what was shown in the video for this circuit https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8c8NLfAP4oY&t=36s . I had to play a bit with the resistors as the 1K suggested although it works in the breadboard, here it wont lit the LED
