I have went to all the links provided ^ but as i have NO knowledge of circuits or current because i am 15 and in grade 11 we have yet not started current and etc. I Attempted to understand the links provided but it got confusing real fast. Just verifying my understanding and if it is accurate i will go and start finishing my report.
There are three parts to the transistor:
(1) BASE
==> It is where some kind of signal, or small current is entered(microphone for example)
(2) COLLECTOR
==> It is connected to a power source/supply, like a battery or power outlet
(3) EMITTER
==> It is always the output, the amplified current
So if i make a small sound in the base, and i have connected the collector to a outlet, then that sound will get amplified and be outputted in the emmiter.
For it to act as a switch it is basically, putting forth more than 5V current will turn the collector gate ON, and less than 5V would get it into saturation mode or OFF.
Just need someone to confirm this so i dont tell the class and teacher something utterly wrong
