Take a look at the visual explanations. All parts connected to the negative terminal of the battery (0 Volt) are shown in blue, all the components on a positive voltage (>0 Volt) are shown in red.
Suppose, after connecting the battery, the LED1 lights up...
![]() Visual explanation of how of a bistable multivibrator works (step 1). |
Also, nothing changes when you press the push-button switch S2, since the voltage at the point S remains positive.
In a second step you press the push-button switch S1. Thereby a positive voltage is applied to the point R...

To return to the first state, you must now use S1.
In the next circuit you are introducing a capacitor as a coupling element...
