Transistors

Two types of transistors will be discussed here: NPN and PNP. Both types however, do share some properties here by referred to as the following:

  • E = Emitter
  • B = Base
  • C = Collector

NPN

Current will not flow across collector through base into emitter if do nothing. When we apply a current to the base then current flows through the transistor.

PNP

Current will flow across emitter through base into collector if we don't do anything. When we apply a current to the base then current flow stops.
