This video describes how transistors amplify small signals into powerful signals.. Tip jar: http://bit.ly/icYMcw Thanks!

  • So you have motivated me for getting better grades, not becasue I know how a transistor amplifys. But because I saw an EE having: a tractor,a car, a snowblower, a house with a garden the size of a football field and a magnifing glass.

  • @lacsapix a lot of the EE work around here is done by unpaid interns from nearby colleges, trying to get credits to get EE degrees. I drive freight trains for a living - that big blue thing behind me in my profile pic is a locomotive (my office). You own a lot of electronics, everyone does. Where do they come from? China, Taiwan, Korea, Japan. Do you live in those places? If not, you probably won't make a good living as an EE then, sorry.

  • Sir you are great, but you look like Peter griffin after going to university :P

  • Why not Op-amps...? whats the differences between an op-amp and a transistor amplifier? Not physically, i mean power useage etc etc...

see all

  • Neato.

  • @bassmanco doesn't op-amp have infinite gain? while if u make a simple transistor amplifier, it has finite gain.

    plus, op-amp is a complex circuit, often difficult to build while simple transistor amp. is something u can build in a minute

  • you are wonderful you helped me and who does not thank people does not thank Allah so thank you very much go on

  • @bassmanco op-amps usually can only deliver up to maybe 100mA maximum, often much less, like 10-20mA! With a small transistor you can deliver at least 100mA and often much much more! A transistor like the 2n2222 can handle 800mA and with the right cooling and the right transistor you can have 10's of amps through your transistor!

  • i just saw the best 3 videos of youtube... thank you

  • I was wishing there was also some kind of valve amplification system for "like" button for this video. I would just press one 'like' button and video would got about 100 likes. Poor Youtube!

  • you rock soooo much!!! I love it :)
