I have three different breadboards with ten LEDs & resistors connected in parallel.
All three are powered by a 9v battery.

I was wondering if there would be a way to wire all three batteries to a single switch so I could turn everything?

Here's the breadboard diagram: enter image description here

Thanks!

  • \$\begingroup\$ you said that all three are powered by only one battery .... do you mean that each one is powered by a separate battery \$\endgroup\$ – jsotola Feb 26 '20 at 4:00

If you have a common ground, you could put the switch between the battery grounds and the breadboard grounds. If not, you probably need a 3-pole switch.

  • \$\begingroup\$ I've succeeded with wiring a switch to each breadboard & battery. I was wondering if there would be a way to connect all three breadboards / corresponding batteries to a single switch. Would I be able to do this with a 3-pole? \$\endgroup\$ – CK209 Feb 25 '20 at 17:01
  • \$\begingroup\$ Yes, if the common ground doesn't work for you. A 3-pole switch is essentially 3 switches working off the same button/handle. \$\endgroup\$ – Cristobol Polychronopolis Feb 25 '20 at 17:07
