Hello everyone!!

If there is only one things i do not understand in the whole school syllabus it's the TRANSISTOR. So can someone please explain the transister in detail and say how it works exactly. If you use a diagram or example it would really help.

In the book I have it only says: If there is a current in the base and collecter then there is a current in emitter. HOWEVER, my teacher says it has nothing to do with current, and if the potential difference between the base and emitter is more than 0.7 then there is a current in collecter.  ??? ??? ???

Please help!!!!!!!


Its best if u understand the transistor circuits with thermistors and varying resistance...wait for 5 minutes..ill draw the diagrams and write the explanation.

umm i think its wrong

THE VOLATAGE ACCROSS THE VARIABLE RESISTOR SHOULD BE HIGH SO THE VOLTAGE ACCORSE B-E HIGH TOO RIGHT?

Thats exactly wat i said. My IGCSE book says the same thing, im pretty sure this isnt wrong.

Thanks. But im still confused. The resistance of thermistor decreases when there is heat*.
I didnt understand what u mean by share of Voltage, does it mean the voltage across it.

So in this case when there is low temp, resistance of thermistor increases. As a result, will there be higher OR lower voltage across thermistor?!?!
And if the voltage across thermistor increases, will there be a lower voltage in the variable resistor, which means Vbe will be high??!?!

when resistance of teh thermistor decreases..doesnt it get less voltage???

and therefore the variable resistor gets more voltage

and therefore the voltage accors teh base emiitor is high?

thats exactly what im asking !! By the way HIGH TEMP DECREASES THE RESISTANCE OF THERMISTOR

R1 should be LESS than R2 for the Voltage output to BE HIGH.


Hence, the thermistor should have a lower resistance (example when heated) than the VARIABLE resistor in order for the V output to the transistor to EXCEED 0.6 V and hence trigger the transistor.

High temperature - Less resistance k? V = I*R. when R decreases, V decreases. Thus, it gets less voltage and the Variable resistor side gets more voltage.

Yes, thats exactly wat i said. Whats the confusion about?

applying V-I*R, when R decreases (thermistor), the Voltage decreases. So, the other part, Vbe , the variable resistor part gets more voltage, and if V>0.6V is flowing throught the emitter of the transistor, the transistor switches on.

I think u're right. But what is exactly "voltage output"!?!?

I have a very big issue with voltage!!!  ???

By the way can someone please explain the general functioning of the transistors!?!?!

Dude, such questions are for three marks.

The MS gives three points - just memorise them; few days left to the exam and you have no other choice.
