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.
