Transistor & Voltage Divider JC Technology Transistor & Voltage Divider
Transistor & Voltage Divider Transistor: electrical switch Three leads: emitter, base, collector
Transistor & Voltage Divider Switch on transistor: Base voltage > 0.6V Small base current gives large collector current Small base current Large collector/emitter current b c e
Transistor & Voltage Divider Voltage Divider: resistors in series divides the applied voltage Base voltage < 0.6V Transistor off Base Voltage > 0.6V Transistor on
Transistor & Voltage Divider Transistor Circuit Output LED/Bulb/motor etc. Input Voltage divider Process Transistor Base Voltage
