7 awesome applications of transistors in circuits
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!

@@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

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..

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!

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

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 👍

@d614gakadoug9
6 ай бұрын
@@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.

Once you setup the filters the audio is good every time. My configuration for creating KZread 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.

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? ❤ cold
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.

....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...
