Components

I can't find a single place online which covers almost all components and explains their function on video.

 

I have struggled for a week (aside the 2 days spent in the hospital) trying to understand how transistors I work...  I am constantly attempting to learn.

 

Please create a YouTube playlist to teach us these things.

 

Thank You

    I think you'll need to be prepared to read stuff as well as use video. Most of the tutorial material I see on YouTube is very weak. Give us an idea of the level you are at and I'll attempt to suggest some…

    A simple transistor amplifier: This is an explanation for beginners, it is not the whole truth but this way of thinking about transistors (or to be pedantic Bipolar Junction Transistors) will work for…

    Nick!!!...Dude!!!!... Really awesome that you replied.  You're the only one who has not thrown any useless comments at me on the internet so far.  I really appreciate it.  :-D

     

    That video made a lot of sense for use as a switch.  The main thing that I am unclear of however was unfortunately not covered.  How are transistors used for amplification?

    The small audio signal turns the transistor on and off really fast which lets the higher voltage go low and high fast enough so that it reproduces the sound only louder because of the higher voltage. If that didn't make any sense check out these videos. They helped me when I didn't understand transistors. image I know what it's like to not understand transistors. You look everywhere online, you ask everyone on forums, it's a pain.

    Transistors are the pulleys of the mechanical world. They use small current to allow more current to flow through semiconductors. In fact these are essential for modern day computers using billions to make a chip like Intel.
