  • my head is spinning.. im just happy there are some people who get this, so i can keep making stupid comments on youtube

  • Uh. No. Phosphorus has 5 electrons in it's valence shell. This contributes an extra conducting electron to the Si structure. Phosphorus doped creates N-TYPE Si. Boron doping, which has one LESS electron, gives you P-TYPE. I had to go back. I thought I misheard this. Thumbs down, man.

  • 240p we meet again :)

  • So does it increase amp for sounds or can you use it for powering stuff too, if that the case then couldn't i make one 9v battery give out 200% power using this ?

  • too simple for who could undertand the video and too complicate for who needs this information.

  • @blackstar2008 Thank u very much..!!

  • @naveedlahoriable Ok, think of it this way:

    A transistor is either an amplifier or a switch.

    It's an amplifier when it's used in its linear range. Applications like audio circuits.

    It's a switch when it's used in its non-linear range. Applications like microprocessor circuits.

    As an engineer that's all I need to know :)

  • @MineAurora no!!!!

  • @8clutchG positive current refers to the conventional current.

    we know that the positive and negative charges move in opposite direction. If negative charge moves from negative terminal of the battery (cathode) towards positive terminal (anode),it is expained that an opposite charge moves in the oppsite direction i.e. from anode to the cathode.

  • @blackstar2008 oh really..??

  • 54 people failed in physics last year..
