In this animated activity, learners view the seven steps that are used to calculate voltage and current values throughout a common-emitter transistor amplifier.
Transistor Fundamentals: Collector Saturation and Collector-Emitter Cutoff
Students read about the concepts of saturation and cutoff. They view diagrams that illustrate the interaction of the load line and the family of curves.
In this animated and interactive object, learners use a memory device to identify NPN and PNP transistors. Learners also examine how much the transistors turn on when the voltage applied to the base is varied.
