Transistors Explained - How transistors work

Transistors how do transistors work. In this video we learn how transistors work, the different types of transistors, electronic circuit basics, how to build a transistor circuit, transistor amplifier, current gain beta, npn, pnp, heat sink, electronics and electrical engineering. Plus more!

20 years after I had to study electronics at school, I finally understood how transistors work.

Over 55 years ago (when I was 10) I was given a birthday present of a simple electronics kit. Several things could be made from it... from buzzers to flashing lights, to even a simple SW radio. While I had no idea at the time what was happening (in terms of the Physics), and needed only to follow very clear instructions as to how to wire the components, the fact that "joining all these bits" in different ways resulted in things with very different properties was very exciting.
Now - over half a century later - I discover this remarkable video that beautifully explains the inner workings!
Excellent material.

This is one of "THE" best educational content I've ever seen... You explained both Diode and Transistor in 1 video and you did it in 18 minutes... That's just awesome...✌️✌️

This is by far the best explanation of basic transistors that I have ever watched! And I’ve watched many many of them. I used to work in a semiconductor physics lab, and you have explained it better than the professor did, in clearer and more easily assimilated terms. This kind of stuff is really needed by many people. Kudos to you 👍

I've been an Electrician for years, but Electronics has always been a bit of a dark art to me, these videos are great! really well explained, good job!

In 1966 I was a Marine stationed at Camp LeJeune in North Carolina. My Company Commander sent me to a 4 week course on transistors. About 99% of the transceiver equipment in the Corps at that time used tubes. I graduated first in my class and was rewarded by my Commander by a promotion to Corporal. Imagine sitting in a class for 7 hours a day for 4 weeks just learning about transistors. We went into detailed theory and saw movies on the process of manufacturing all forms of transistors; plus we did lots of lab work where we built transistor circuits and learned how to troubleshoot them. I'm 75 now but still remember much of what I learned in that course. After I left the Corps in 1968 I became an Electrical Engineer and worked mostly with communications receivers and sonar until 2012 when I retired. I had a great career and now I mostly goof off on the 5 country acres my wife, 4 cats, and I live on. Cheers to all.

I am a finance student learning about transistors and almost understood 80% of it. This guy is a genius teacher. God bless you.

[loafofocean]

This is actually really comprehensive and not boring/sleep-inducing. Great job

[mfawzi]

This video is better than the instructors explanation at university 😐😐

[paulmartin]

It's great to look back on transistor theory, I am a qualified ex TV engineer from back in the early 80, s to late 90, s. I've replaced so many transistor s it's difficult to quantify. From Audio visual I went into medical lasers and had a wonderful career. These videos are very easy to understand, and invaluable. Thanks.

50 years ago, the emphasis was on "hole flow" in the U. S. Navy electronics technician school. I didn't fully understand how transistors worked until I took an engineering correspondence course. Your explanation is easier to understand.

oh Man! You explained what they taught me in Electronics Engineering course in one semester in just a 18 min video with much more clarity. Thanks a lot. This is one of the best educational video.

[peggythepirate]

Spent 4 years working for <insert fortune 500> as a traveling industrial engineer/mechanic. The non/pnp break down and water flow diagram was much better than the 2 week electrical course. Kudos.

[skellious]

This is the BEST channel for clear explanations :D thank you!

[yweleung]

I was so confused by the explanation of our professor. This is so much clearer and I finally understand how this little component works. Hope there will be a follow-up video on JFET and MOSFET in the future.

[himanshusahu]

1000 times better than my entire semester of electronics ❤️

[hepyslepy]

I am 3rd year ECE student and i can confidently say that the majority of what you can learn in uni, is packed in these few minutes of videos, just take time to understand. Well aside from learning how to please the professor to squeeze a few more points. thankyou sirs!

[PranavMaru]

I am an electronics engineer, working in Core field since last 2 years.... 4 years of graduation studies and 2 years of practical work... But the clarity I got on how a transistor works is *TODAY* ❤️ UR ANIMATION IS BEAUTIFUL... LOVE FROM INDIA 👍
