- You can't imagine what transistors can do for you. After learning to use transistors, your ability to design sophisticated and advanced circuits will improve.
I know most of the newbies think about using transistors in their designs, but they are confused where to use a transistor!
In this video, I am going to tell you about seven applications of transistors in circuits. This will be a good time for you to start using transistors.
In this video, I am going to answer this basic question, "Where to use transistors in circuits?" along with a lot of other questions about transistors.

There's just something about your videos that makes them extra special and unique. They provide the sense of sitting in on a university lecture. I always felt that the most knowledgeable in any subject are those with the ability to take complex subjects and relay that information in a manner which can be clearly understood, something you do with ease. Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, I am so glad to hear this. Really appreciate your comment ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
It's his use of English.. it is clear, concise and at a very consistent speed
@@elewizard Your English is so clear that you made a double purpose: help me to train my ear to understand better English talk, and at the same time to learn electronics...
Thanks a lot!
You have gained a new subscriber!
Greetings from Argentina!😄
Those bread boards are the best!
@@elewizardi love working on electronics. I have done it for many years. When it comes to components, mostly just replacing, or following a diagram to build a circuit. I have always had trouble designing circuits. Mostly not 100% understanding the uses and why/how.i just discovered your channel today and have watched a few. I now understand why i have used the components that i have, not just because it is what the instructions say or what was there and broken. I just want to say thank you and keep it up.
Many many thanks for explaining how easy it is to use these little devils. I have lots of transistors, but never use them and stick to simple circuits for fun, but now that you have explained them to me, I will start to use them in my circuits and get all the benefits that they bring as well as enjoying electronics more.
Thank you so much,
Joe
Glad to hear that, I am so happy for motivating you, 🥂
Another excellent review deepening my understanding. I'm an Amateur Radio operator and electronics hobbyist since childhood. This is an area that I clearly grasp but still was not fully confident. Logic was easy, but other applications are now much more clear. My Sansui QRX 7400a is clearly an example of class A B amplifying. But PWM and other applications I was not quite clear on. Your examples are very helpful, thanks again..
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for sharing and watching
Showing the practical applications really helps, thank-you!
Glad it was helpful! Cheers 🥂
Exactly what I'm looking for. Not just the bare explanation of how a transistor works, but even several examples what they are doing and above all why that's important.
Cause, I never understand realy why I should use a transistor as a switch after e.g. an push button.
Direktly saved in my learning list!
Thanks
Glad it was helpful 😃
I will try to make more videos of this type 👍
In a simple and short words "you are just amazing man"
Thank you so much ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I refreshed my memories especially about Switching, for me, transistors will always be switches though 😂 thank you so much for this video
You're so welcome! Thank you for watching 🍻
Salam dorud. I suspect you're Iranian. That makes you the second great Iranian electronics teacher I've found on YT. You're tutorials and contents are fantastic and you're channel will grow fast. I'm from Tehran.
Hi my friend. Glad you think so, accept my warm welcomes from ardabil
@@elewizard Thank you sir. Benım anne tarafim de Ardebidiler. Sağolun abi.
Your approach to teaching is unique, practica, clear and previous!!
It’s seems all so natural and easy to explain these topics your way!! But it’s clear that there is a lot of preparation An planning before each video.
Thank you very much!!
I just discovered you today but U will come back often!
Wow, glad you think so, Thank you! 😃
Absolutely outstanding presentation which leaves more room for more. Particularly interested in RF amplification applications and also discussions about filtering in all types of amplification using transistors. Terrific presentation as usual. Many thanks. 73, NZ5i
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching ❤️
You are great not because of details of electronics but also easy understandable english
Thank you dude, not because of your support, but also because of your kindness 😉
I discovered you few hours ago. I subscribed after first 5 minutes. Thank you for your work. Your content is so good. Greetings from Romania.
Welcome aboard! Thank you for watching 😊
Excellent content with good examples! Thank you!
You're very welcome! Cheers 🥂
Ahhh, this is outstanding stuff for the audience you intended this for & I most definitely count myself as part of it! I'm in the "Super eager-to-learn electronics enthusiast w/zero formal schooling & 100% self-taught" & transistors are like the Next Big Step for me that I've procrastinated LIKE CRAZY on implementing in any of my projects all just bc of how intimidatingly arcane it was for me to try & learn even the basics about them w/o any primer. Pretty much any "intro" to transistors & semiconductors in general might as well be written in sanskrit if you don't have a grasp on the lexicon going in, so thank you for the effort to help bridge the gap for people like me!
Thank you so much for being a part of the community.
I appreciate your kind words ❤️
Man, this is a very comprehensive video with very interesting applications. Thank you so much!
Thank you for watching and supporting me ❤️
this is one of the best videos i've seen about transistors. i found this so helpful thank you :)
Glad to hear that, cheers 🥂
"trite" - awesome. that is a better word choice than most native speakers would make. i had to watch this again after your recent transistor magnum opus.
Thank you my friend for encouraging me ❤️❤️❤️❤️
BTW, gratitude for the £2 Super Thanks support! 🙌
Your videos are helpful and you are a great instructor!
Glad you think so!🍻
Thank you sir, now I know how touch buttons on certain old elevators work on the inside ! I’m a lift mechanic and nobody could explain it to me on a component level!
Touch sensors can be made by using several different methods. Now you learned one of them 🍻
Yes it's like sales people that read from the back of the box, but this is all very interesting.
I guess there is an attitude to things that, nobody expects anyone to use a soldering iron any more.
Super explanation. ❤
Thank you 🙂
Thank you for taking the time to do these videos!
Thank you for being a part of this journey! ❤️
I would not call the simple 2-transistor current limiter a "switch."
The main transistor is essentially switched ON below the current limiting threshold, but as that threshold is approached the whole circuit begins to operate in linear mode.
It is important to remember that the main transistor power dissipation may be quite high and a heatsink may be required.
This circuit isn't high precision and you'd get a moderate amount of variation from one unit to another, but it is plenty good enough for lots of applications.
Good points, the circuit is not high precision, you have to add some other components to make it more precision. Components like OPAMP. I will explain it in one of my upcoming videos 👍
Thanks for practical applications.
You are welcome!❤️❤️❤️
Good video! I would like to see more information on how to create constant current supply for led and laser diodes. There’s not a lot of very good videos on cc supply. Cheers!
Noted! Thank you❤️
Just subscribed your channel for your beautiful explanation with practical knowledge. Keep it up. Lots of love from INDIA..
You are very welcome my Indian friend 😃
Awesome video, I will be waiting for more.
More to come!
Excellent video. Thanks for putting time to make it 🎉
My pleasure 😊
Your description is very helpfull ever
I appreciate your kind words! 😊
"Wizard" - beautifully organized components in background - in-deph articulation of the topic
yes yes yes
So glad you think so
Thank you for the explanation, I learned a lot. I subscribed to your channel. I hope to learn much more. Blessings to you. Best regards.
Thanks and welcome ❤️❤️
Amazing channel. You are a stellar teacher. Subscribed
Thanks for watching and for the encouraging comment!
Your support motivates me to create more content!
this is the content i wish i had a long time ago…very nice!
Glad to hear that 😃
Great way of high side switching n-channel mosfets.... Use photovoltaic opto isolators. The isolator's output can be floated on the mosfets source. Thus gate-source voltage can always go high enough to ensure full on.
Thanks for sharing❤️
Photovoltaic couplers are generally pretty slow and the last time I looked (years ago) they were quite expensive. Still, they are a good solution for some applications.
Thanks for the video.
You are most welcome
very very very very very useful channel!
Thank you a lot , continue like that 🙏
I have idea why You sir don't use a plastic table to draw not loose paper 🙂.

Thanks for watching!😊
Nice explanation is from nice one
Keep watching❤️
Well, I'm positive i learned something new - but i also feel i may need to watch this many more times! Easy to understand once you get used to his accent and speech speed.
Keep watching. And I will keep improving my accent and speech 👍😊
Thakn you so much sir we need your Gidence
Anyone not give information like this
You are most welcome ❤️
I will do my best
You electronics freaks are a rare breed and I don’t mean that in a bad way. How you people understand how those components work is beyond me.
Experience, that is the key 🗝
The main problem I have noticed why people don't know how to use transistors, is the teachers. They are starting electronics with transistors, and immediately dive into the deep end of transistor analysis and different types of transistors, without actually ever explaining what they are and what they are used for. Even on the first introduction to electronics, teachers start throwing around words like FETs, BTJs , IGBTs, NPN, PNP, emitter, controller, base etc. never actually telling students what those acronyms mean.
For example, a few years ago, I participated in 1st year students electronics course in an University as an undercover student to troubleshoot why everyone was failing these lessons. I have a few engineering degrees and although my electronics degree is from the the early 2000s, I could barely follow the class and had to correct the teacher several times on critical (possibly fatal) theoretical errors, because he thought they were so obvious everyone would know that he was talking about only a very limited use case with a lot of safety precautions in place. With the excuse that I had "just read on a the internet that isn't it like this instead?", since I couldn't just let those things pass. Then the after the 2nd week, theory was over, and we moved to lab to start building a full audio-amplifier. Basically, everyone just followed instructions, but didn't understand anything they were doing, and learned even less. I won't name the school, state or country
The teacher was a former electronics virtuoso from a top name company (that still did consulting for them, but had downshifted to teaching), but he was so disconnected from beginners, he was talking and teaching to them as they were all post-graduate students, and just excepted everyone to be at that level coming in to the first electronics lesson. Also, for some messed up reason, physics I and II were scheduled AFTER the electronics courses.
Great contents as always ,congrats.
Could you make a video explaining inductor the same as this video(example: how exactly inductor oposes the Change in current,)please Iam stuck in electronics until I grasp this
Yes, it is in my todo list 🙃
@@elewizard waiting for it

At 25.04, should the motor not be connected to the collector?
Nope, this configuration is called "Common collector" the circuit is OK.
There is a dedicated video about this circuit on the channel. Look for DC motor speed controller video on the channel for detailed information on this subject.
nice
Thanks
Isn't there typically an emitter resistor for a common collector configuration?
it depends on the load, the load may need a resistor or not!
@@elewizard Thanks, I see that, but won't a load such as a motor vary in impedance at different speeds?
@@Enigma758
A common collector (CC) amplifier or "emitter follower" is a good circuit to use when you want to apply a constant (but variable as required) voltage to a load that varies in impedance.
Remember that an ideal voltage source has zero output impedance - the voltage stays constant no matter what current is drawn from the source.
The CC amplifier has high input impedance and low output impedance. The output impedance isn't zero, so you don't get a perfect voltage source, but it is low. Just what the ratio of input impedance to output impedance actually is depends on the current gain of the transistor. The higher the gain the higher the ratio of input to output impedance. That gain will vary somewhat from one unit to another of the same type and will vary with temperature.
Usually with a DC motor with brushes what you want to do is control the speed , which is reasonably proportional to the applied voltage. If the mechanical load increases while the applied voltage is kept constant, the current increases, and vice versa. That low output impedance of the CC amp is just what you need. Overall the performance isn't great, but can be quite adequate for lots of purposes. (If you need really good speed control you'd typically use a tachometer in a closed-loop system, though you can do a pretty good job by measuring the back-EMF from the motor, which tends to be very linear with speed).
There are circuits where you might add some extra resistance in the emitter circuit of a CC amp but that moves the circuit farther away from being an ideal voltage source if the load is in series with the added resistor. If a CC amp is used as the final output stage of an amplifier with feedback, sometimes a small resistance is used to isolate capacitance that may be present with the load. Capacitance can cause a phase shift that can play havoc with the stability of the system and the resistor can mitigate the problem. This is common with audio power amplifiers.
Both JFETs and MOSFETs can be used in "source follower" (common drain) circuits for extremely high input impedance. The difference between gate voltage and source voltage is not as well defined as with BJTs.
Yes, it varies. So what? There is no need to a resistor there
@@elewizard OK
Great video. Didnt you have another channel ?
I had one, but it is not available now 😉
3:02 "Since BD139 is an NPN type BJT transistor, it is better to use it to switch Ground voltage"
but why ?
There are several reasons. See this video
th-cam.com/video/L0QraSYq8tw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=gcBXkraxCiDBjlcK
Good info, the audio makes it hard to listen though. Please process your audio or by a good microphone
Thanks for the point ❤️
@elewizard I have similar vice type and without filter the sound is not good. In order to avoid post processing my audio every time I use Sure MV7 with their software. Once you setup the filters the audio is good every time. My configuration for creating TH-cam videos is: I use SurePlus Motiv for the microphone , then it goes into NVidia Broadcast as I apply some extra filters and background blur, and then it goes into OBS Studio. I don't use filters in OBS though it has plenty. Just to setup my scenes, screen. My first video had terrible audio when I used my Webcam microphone.
Very interesting, thank you for sharing
Thank you
You're welcome
I would happily pay 50-60$ to get a pdf/book with those informative videos' contents

TRAN = Vietnam for - I learned that!
When switching a motor or anything else with a coil, use a feedback diode! This is to avoid/cancel back EMF. Without it can ruin your funny experiments with transistors pretty soon.
Yeah, this point is covered in another video of mine 👍👍
🤯
sri,could make a vedio about the RF remote control circuit
Certainly, it is my todo list 👍

Welcome abdulbari❤️

You sadly forgot about/didn't cover the capacitance multiplier circuit, works like a charm..
Yes, I didn't cover cap multiplier and also many other usages of transistors to keep video time reasonable
you are besttttttt
So nice of you ❤️
That's what I'm trying to do switching the whole circuit without passive power drain, but I have yet to find a suitable BJT transistor with enough Hfe
Use alltransistors.com to find suitable part number
transistors have insane applications, i dont see how people could struggle with em.
Maybe
@@elewizard its true. Not only for integration of small electronics into big machines, but you can add complexity to circuits simply by having an entire secondary circuit connected via transistor. I use them for all sorts of stuff, almost as much as I use diodes.
Thank you for sharing 👍❤️
I want occilation circuit with a single transistor with detailed inner and outer function and working of transistor
Will try 👍
Thank you for suggestion
Please make a wireless radio receiver circuit using transistor...
Will do
One type of transistor serves as an inverter in one piece. Solar power banks use it for the Nokia 5110,6110,7110 series. The transistor can invert the 3.2v safely to 6.9 v when loaded, and can operate a 6 v cleaner motor at high speed from a little 3.7 v Nokia battery.
Yeah, WOW man. Wizard actual. You seem to use English far better than many of my American neighbors lol.
I'm already using a custom open source 'Solid State Tesla oscillator' circuit (by Master Ivo), employing SiC power mosfets, running a [bifilar pancake] Tesla Coil based 'single wire transmission line', improvising simple little analog circuitry for probing my system. Even so, this vid managed to:
a. Rock my world
b. knock my socks
c. cause me to execute a backflip
Question:
How would YOU replicate Tesla's trick of using an old telephone handset to 'listen in' for null points along a [scalar/longitudinal]TX line? F resonant is around 120kHz, must i use a heterodyne to get audible tones, or can it be managed more simply?
I think Tesla was also using telephone handset with a 'coherer' RF detector to make just periodic 'beeps' out around NYC while his transmitter was oscillating. A simple 'periodic beeper' to sound off when my step-down 'receiver' transformer is getting power from the line (or spherical terminal), would be helpful for me to demonstrate reception inside a grounded faraday cage too - any tips, my guy?

Hi there, @Artamicro
wow washing someone describing my hobby in such a confusing way troubles me. first vacuum tubes and FET field Effect Transistors are voltage contorled devices. a BJT is NOT Binary Junction Transistors are current controlled. I stopped counting at 30 misleading statements, If anyone wants to learn electronics this is not the channel. a great example of " If you can't dazzle them with brilliance baffle them with BS "
Thank you so much for your feedback ❤️

you call your video an explaining of transisror uses???
hhhhhhhhhhhhh
Yes
an advice: stop@@elewizard
i dont get it and your accent is difficult to follow...
It made me sad. Sorry for that❤️
try a more organic video. maybe it s less pauses that way... and show more!@@elewizard
I think less pauses means more idle time.
how is that? the less you pause the less you idle.@@elewizard
@@elewizardI thought it was great and didnt have issues with your accent. Cheers mate
You aren't educated!
....IMHO: I think that for many people, working with various "electronic" devices, etc., we often find that, if any circuit board "craps out", it's often faster, and cheaper to just replace the "entire board(s)", rather than trying to sort out any specific faulty components on the "bad board"...So, although we may study "transistors", and solid state devices',... unless we specialize in being an electronics repairman/bench technician",... we never get "good" at finding specific "faulty components", and replacing "them".... instead, we merely replace larger boards, entirely...
Thank you for your comment 👍 I think your opinion is right in most cases
