Transistors in 100 Seconds

Transistors are perhaps the greatest invention of the 20th century.
These electronic components are used for regulating and controling current. They are most
often used as either switches or signal amplifiers.
A typical transistor has 3 terminals called: the emitter, base, and collector.
The base is responsible for controlling the transistor. The collector is
the positive lead, and emitter is the negative lead.

Note: although I am manipulating the voltage in the simulation, please remember that BJTs are current-controlled devices. Changing the voltage also works because of the proportional relationship with current.

Great short and informative video, keep them coming! Although i wanted to add that BJT's are current-controlled, not voltage controlled. It's not the voltage applied to the base, but the current flowing as a result.

Of course, you are right, I will clarify that with a pinned comment. Thanks!

How do you not have more subs? This is some really good content.

I appreciate the improved audio quality compared to the capacitor video :) Keep up the great work!

[@V_Electronics]

Thank you!

I think people do not appreciate transistors unless an AND or an OR gate is shown, otherwise you get the question "and now?"

[@viktorsak]

FETs don't have to be more expensive nor handle more current, they're just a different technology

[@taldb]

Great VIdeo!. You Should Make a video about logic gates as a follow-up of this video.

[@V_Electronics]

Thank you, great suggestion!

[@thesystemsucks]

great stuff

Love it

Imagine how the digital world would be without transistors...
impossible

[@V_Electronics]

True, I'm not sure if there is an alternative

[@maticz3923]

Vaccum lamps and relays is what was used before transistors were a thing

Oh yeah
Forgot about them

[@backinyourcommentsectionag3191]

oh my! this channel has a lot of potential!
I love the fireship approach to electronic components!
Though I'd recommend upgrading your microphone a bit there- Its kinda hard to hear what you're saying at times. But otherwise great video!

[@V_Electronics]

Thank you! Constantly working with the audio (:

[@gabrijelcoh]

what's the simulation you show the transistor schematic called?

A lot of errors...

Thank you for the comment, what did I get wrong?
