I subscribed to electroBoom to see him blow things up but now I’m actually learning something from him.

This is a better lesson than I got back in my EE class in the 90s. I learned more in 10 min with Mehdi than an entire semester of hearing about the "glory days" of the professor I had.

[stardust]

EE undergrad here, thanks for all of your videos, it's really helpful for understanding the concepts in deep.

[trapper]

the whole 2:09 section was genius, I love it

The simplified graphics have always been very confusing to me, only onceI saw the real cross section of a transistor I finally understood how they work

[KirbzYyY]

After failing my analogue circuits class (which is BJTs, MOSFETs, OP amps and filters), this 14min video explained BJT better to me than the prof did. I knew beforehand how to calculate the base and collector current, and all the other things we needed, but I now *understand* a lot more.

[MitchellClark]

This comes at the perfect time. My electronics class is going over these in a few weeks. Thanks Mehdi!

[agalah]

I'm not sure Mehdi should be teaching transistor theory. I think he's biased.

[masonhammers]

Currently in a coarse largely focused on MOSFETs and it was just lovely learning that the BJT's equivalent of a MOSFET's saturation region is called it's active region. Then to double down on the confusion, they called the linear/triode region of a MOSFET a BJT's saturation region. Ahhh I love electrical engineering.

[berniefranks]

I have never been so fascinated with a subject I knew nothing about. I wish I had a teacher like you when I was young Thank you!!

[erinc]

I want to thank you because your videos are what peaked my interest in all things electrical, and now I’m pursuing a successful career as an electrician and I’m the happiest I’ve ever been

[jonlukewest]

This is exactly the BJT overview I needed. Thank you

[Thatoneperson]

This video couldn't be timed more perfectly! I have an exam on transistors coming up in a week. Thank you so so much you make everything so much easier

[mikewillmitch]

I just want to thank you for making these. It's been 11 years since I got my EE degree and these are nice refreshers.

[LordHonkInc]

Honestly, yes, this series (along with your other videos) has helped me tremendously in getting comfortable with small-scale electronics repairs. I'm still comfortably scared of high voltage stuff, but yeah, you've saved a lot of remotes, loudspeakers and the like from getting thrown out when it was easy to fix them; even hand-soldered my own keyboard after finally understanding how diodes work. So thank you a ton for all this free knowledge :)

[elliethebat]

as an electrical engineer, its fun watching you explain this stuff in a different way to how I learned it

[unclesam]

Awesome vid Mehdi, please never be discouraged by lower view counts on your more educational videos as they are so high quality, and the view count should not matter to you as you are clearly so passionate about educating people about electronics in your own deranged way :P

[joelsmith]

Mehdi! You explained this better than any of my Engineering professors throughout me entire degree.
I appreciate the refresher 🙌🏻

[AmoghA]

Whenever Mehdi mentions a capacitor, I know there is going to be an explosion.

[idko]

I'm working with electronics like 16 years and nobody, like nobody (school, forums and old repair men) did that great job explaning it in this detail to understand it properly like You, from this video everybody should understand fundamentals of transistors, amazing video great job Mhedi 💪
