    *Summary:*
    - a transistor is functionally similar to a relay
    - it had 3 leads, the collector, the emitter, and the base
    - you hook up the collector and emitter to your circuit
    - but normally, no electricity can close from the collector to the emitter...unless you apply a very small amount of current to the base
    - you can use a really weak battery to provide electricity for the base, or a bigger battery and include a large resistor

    Can anyone answer me plzzz!! at 4:04 shouldn't the resistor be placed before the LED since the current travels from + to - which means the current goes from the LED to the resistor while we need the opposite in order to lower the voltage before it passes through the LED so it won't burn ???

    • @elyakimlev
      @elyakimlev 4 года назад

      No, the order doesn't matter. The voltage is divided instantly between all devices connected in the series in a closed circuit, so the LED is safe (as long as the resistor has enough resistance).

  • @alikumaile
    @alikumaile 7 часов назад

    amazing videos leaning a lot. i do have a small question though. in this video you connected you led with positive battery terminal directly and resistor after that. from your videos i understand current flows from positive to negative and if thats right then the high voltage should go though led first and then to resistor which will eventually burn the led coz resistor will only stop current after it goes through it. so it either that putting resistor anywhere in circuit will decrease the voltage throughout circuit or the current flows from negative to positive. unless its one of the 2 cases otherwise led should be broken by now. so what is it?

      Also, note that he connects negative to emitter. Emit = emit electrons. Positive = collect electrons. But a circuit is always balanced. Negative to Postitive to Negative to Positive.

      the order doesnt matter. if you imagine the current flowing from + to -, even tho it runs through the LED first, it needs to hit the cathode to complete the circuit. once it hit it, all components will begin working simultaneously and instantaneously.

    If the LED is 3.2V, and the power source is 3V, why is the 200ohm resistor required? Surely there is no need to lower the power source voltage when it's already less than the forward voltage of the LED?

      It's called capacitive touch. So your fingers are capacitors. When you remove the fingers, the capacitance dies down slowly. Have you noticed how certain poorly built screens have slower movement when you drag your finger across?

    • @maximusfl3926
      @maximusfl3926 6 лет назад

      Ground is not the negative side of the battery. That is not accurate. Voltage is always between two points. You can have circuits with multiple voltage and current sources. Ground (GND) refers to a common point for all circuits that have a voltage potential of 0V. Don't confuse GND and the negative rail. In some circuits your negative rail can be -5V, -10V, etc., and that is not ground.
      Also please note there are two types of ground. On Schematics they are shown differently. There is earth ground, and circuit ground.

    • @dedestro
      @dedestro 5 лет назад +5

      Look at his video number 9-11 or something and he explains the reason. It doesn't matter where you put the resistor. The negatively charged ions flow from negative to positive (this is the main driving force of electricity) and then the positive charge flow from positive to negative. The rate of flow of these is directly proportional. If one slows then so does the other and if one gets faster so does the other. So whether a resistor is before or after it gets affected by the resistor.

      Transistors are smaller, and they don't have mechanical parts that could be damaged. Also, they can be used not only as switches, but as controllers of the current flowing through the circuit as well. For instance, the processor of your phone contains about 2 BILLION transistors! Can you imagine it having the same number of relays?

    These segments are excellent, but I've managed to confuse myself regarding current flow. If the electrons are negatively charged, why do they flow TO the negative pole of the voltage supply? Intuitively they would flow AWAY from the negative pole and TO the positive pole. What am I missing here?

    • @DJShado13
      @DJShado13 4 года назад

      It's really based on the misconception of how current flows back when electrical experiments began. Multitudes of schematics and such were drawn in what is now called "conventional flow." That's the basic and pretty much universal way electrical flow is interpreted. The only area in which you'd encounter analysis of "electron flow" (the actual way) is in advanced physics courses studying electronics.

    This is technically incorrect. Transistors are current control components, not voltage. MOSFETs are voltage controlled.So many details are missing in order to use transistors correctly. You do need the math to design a circuit and to select the proper transistor for the circuit. Even at a very high level which I think he is shooting for, his explanation of transistors is incorrect.
