  • @georg299
    @georg299 5 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Keep in mind that a transistor (like any diode) has to be controlled by the current, not by the voltage. (Hence, the resistor is needed to limit the current.) The problem is that the forward voltage decreases with temperature. (The voltage level where current starts flowing) Imagine a voltage controlled circuit: current starts flowing, diode/transistor becomes warm, opens even more...and exploded! 😂

  • @flashsenpai3835
    @flashsenpai3835 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    need more videos like these. I sometimes get confused about the difference between voltage and current. I hope we get similar videos to this like explaining resistor, capacitor and other basic electronic components. It would also be more appreciating if the channel makes videos on how to recognise the values and ratings of components. 👍🏻👍🏻✨✨
