Jun 14, 2016 · A transistor is often described as a 'current' amplifier. It's more accurate to say that a transistor is as 'current-increment' amplifier. You wire up a transistor in a circuit in such a …

Mar 1, 2021 · I just can not understand why it is that variations in the base current should amplify the current through the transistor. If I am understanding correctly, if we apply a current on a …

Apr 9, 2021 · 6 What does a FET actually do? A FET is a transistor which uses the field effect to control current flow. The trick is that applying a (constant) electric field does not need any …

Jan 25, 2023 · When the transistor is on, the current still passes through the collector resistor, but the equivalent resistance of the transistor between emitter and collector is much lower than the …

May 6, 2023 · 3 To understand a bipolar transistor current mirror, it is easiest to consider that the collector current is controlled by the base-emitter voltage (via an exponential relationship). …

Can someone care to explain - in plain English - what a transistor is and how it works. I know computers are full of these but don't know much about them. P.S. I know about this site from …

Dec 2, 2018 · 0 I am wondering why a transistor, such as one used in this Zener diode + Transistor regulator , has the output controlled by the base voltage rather than the collector.

Apr 15, 2011 · A transistor goes into saturation when both the base-emitter and base-collector junctions are forward biased, basically. So if the collector voltage drops below the base …

May 22, 2020 · When, with an increase in base current, the transistor is fully conducting and there is no further increase in collector current, the transistor is said to be 'saturated'. The transistor …

Aug 23, 2018 · A transistor is a fundamental electronic component often referred to as a semiconductor device. It primarily functions as a switch or an amplifier for electrical signals. …
