This is an AWESOME lesson. You pulled back the veil that has shrouded this in mystery to me for years.

Great refresher. I used to dabble with semi conductors as a kid, but didn't really understand how they worked. This video brought it all back for me...thanks!

Excellent video. Easy to understand. Logically ordered. Very professional. Like listening to a talented engineering expert.

Thank you for this video. Well explained and easy to understand. You are the personal teacher of so many people that acess youtube. You give joy, and self fullfilment to so many people. I cherish you in my mind.

Without really knowing much of anything about electronics I could still get the idea of how this works. Fantastic....must resist temptation to binge watch entire series now....

I think this is the first time I've ever been able to wrap my head around this.

Thanks to your simple explanation i think i finally understand PNP transistors which seemed more complex than NPN :D

Thanks, this is the only video that makes it super simple to understand without the presenters stroking their ego by trying to sound smart by overcomplicating things.

I swear to god I just spent 15 minutes reading about how transistors work but 3 minutes into this video I feel a lot more enlightened. The article never even mentioned why it’s called a transistor.

This is the most amazing explanation of transistors that I have ever run across! Thank you!

Comprehensive, easy to understand explanation. Thank you.

Thanks, professionally made and good for reviewing the fundamentals.

OMG, thank you Karen.....a lot easier to understand than some of the stuff I've read!

we owe everything to these transistors. I was working as a tube tech when these devices started to hit the market. like in all things the new replaces the old. as for npn and pnp it depends on the circuit I design. thus, a super stable low frequency tunable osc requires a small load transistor in a reverse polarity configuration.

In just 7 min you cleared every thing. Teaching is an art and that's true.

I am a new learner and found this video very useful and informative. The pace was perfect for me.

i finally felt i understood the transistor basics now. wow that took some years to grip but this video confirmed everything ive understood and by watching this i now got it, thanks

Thanks sister. U explained every thing in a very understandable manner.pl extend your lesson further for novice and other interested.

Thanks so much .. this is a great video to understanding npn and pnp transistors .. really thank you 😊

PNP = Points iN Permanently NPN = Never Points iN this may help with reading schematics.

very good and detailed explanations, cleared so many doubts which i had about transistors. thanks for making this video.

Well. This video was very helpful! I thought to turn on an NPN transistor, I just needed to have .6v sitting at the base. Knowledge gap. Didn't realize it needed to flow through b to e. Its working now! Thanks

With a non-science backgorund was struggling to get a minimum jibor-jabor explanation. Thank you so much

Thank you so much for this explanation, solved a problem after a month

Sincere effort to explain the smallest monster of the electronics. Also elaborate with equations. Have a nice day

Freaking awesome video, really dispels the difficulty of learning this stuff!

Incredibly clear explanation. Thank you.

You 'v got me on the right way, of the transistor. Thank you very much Karin..aptly great channel.

Amazing presentation, deep but easy to learn.

Will we see transistors used in a circuit in a future episode? This information is great. I haven't had much exposure to working with transistors so I'll be sure to review this video back couple of times to make sure I understand everything.

Taking AC voltage and turning it into DC voltage. Glad I found this channel helps clear the fog from things learned long ago. Also after searching manually through your videos could not find an explanation on the theory covering transformers and rectifying diodes and proper capacitors.

This video has taught me more than any other video. Thanks 😊

Darlingtons are an awesome solution for interfacing micros with stepper motors; done that a few times in the past.

Great Video Karen! Amazing explanation and easy to understand

Best explanation I've heard so far, thanks.

never seen such a well explained topic

I did mechanical and he did electrical. I got more interested in electronics and he helped me a bit until I couldn't catch up with him especially when he started designing power amplifiers using Darlingtons . Oh yes! I manually etched a working stereo 20x20W. That was in 1981 and now I can try catch up.

Great I have always wanted to learn about circuits. Thank you so much.

This lady is really cool, Im binge watching her tutorials. Excellent teacher !

I learned vacuum tubes first and some of the older books compare a tube to a transistor. So that made it easy for me to learn transistors.

Tubes were much nore forgiving. I began designing tube circuits and if you make a mistake like grounding a grid, the plate glows cherry red hahh With a transistor, it just gets damaged and the circuit fails to operate leaving you with "ok why isnt this working?" Of course working with non lethal voltages has its benifits hahah Once I was working on a T.V. and had my hands inside while adjusting the time and my knuckle came to close to the horizontal output tube playe cap. That Hurt a LOT!!! I once got belted with the anode wire for a b&w crt. my jand felt like it was in a. Vise and then got smacked witha hammer! Ouch!

Very nice video Lady. Please make more simple explanation videos about electronic. Thank you so much

Very helpful. Thank you. Hope for more vedio.

Thank you wonderful style in the explanation

nice informative video, the development always goes further, bipolar transistors were replaced by PMOS that were replaced by NMOS that were replaced by CMOS.

This is one of the top electronics channels out there

Hi, how are you. I am really flattered. You explained very nicely and impressively. I am 60 years old man with 42 yeas experience in technical work and I have many Invented designs and many mega projects but I am living in the environment Where is no support from the government for the real visionary people. Each day I am thinking that life is not to waste and each breath is to find out the Real good way to facilitate the whole mankind, but the people who has Power but they don't have a good visionary mind. If I were sponsored by the hogher level authority, I am 100% sure that My only One development program can bring wealth to the whole world but, I am helpless to show because there is no support and sponsor for the true visionary mind people. I am very much impressed from your ability to explain and the real Seekers. Love you so very much, ❤ may God bless you.❤❤❤

one of the best explained ....thank you so much...

WoW! great explanation, tks very much!

If you discuss Darlington Pairs, it would also be useful to discuss Szicklai Pairs. I understand that the Darlington Pair discussion was a teaser. Therefore, I suggest a follow up in depth discussion of Darlington and Szicklai Pairs for a future video.

Excellent description & thanks

Just a small correction. It is called bipolar because it depends on both electrons and holes! not because it has 2 pn junctions.

Well explained, great work

Great video. Really enjoying these. One small nitpick - at 2:39 I believe you really meant to say "the small signal current flows from the base to the emitter" not "from the base to the collector". The diagram however is correct.

This is DEFINITELY and EASILY the BEST explanation I've ever seen on this target level. Using those two voltage sources in the explanatory schematic was genius!!! And the explanation on vBE and vCE was something that often doesn't even get talked about in other vids.

except the explanation about the PNP is not correct. The only difference is the battery in the diagram it would be flipped around so the (-) goes to the base. PNP and NPN both require .7v bias.

@lucysluckyday

@@cat-lw6kq It looks correct to me. If using the classic positive current model then the current flowing from positive terminal on right flows into the emitter and (mostly) out through the collector, where the base signaling current would need to have a voltage of 8.3V or less. In other words, if you think in digital terms (rather than analog) she is trying to show that a logic 0 applied to the base switches the PNP BJT on to allow the primary current to flow through from E to C.

@cat-lw6kq

Suggest you buy one of those cheap transistor testers off ebay. for test some transistors with it, it will show the bias voltage and the gain. The tester has a digital readout, it shows bias (B-E) voltage and gain. You will see a bias of about .7v if the transitor is good.
