In summary, the conversation is about building an astable multivibrator using a BC107 transistor on a breadboard. The person is asking for a demonstrated post or a link to the circuit they are trying to build and also inquiring about the placement of the transistor on the breadboard. It is clarified that the physical layout does not have to be a mirror image, as long as the connections are correct, and a picture of an example circuit using the same layout is provided.

I have a doubt, that in astable multivibrator how do we place the transistor bc107 in opposite side on a breadboard? If anyone know please show me in a demonstrated post.

We need a link to the circuit for the astable you are building.
Do you also have a diagram or picture of your breadboard.

Unlike many schematics, the physical layout does not have to have the transistors placed as mirror images. As long as the connections to the various components are correct and there are no unintentional connections, the circuit should work.

Use a BC107 in a TO-92 can?
 

1. What is an astable multivibrator?

An astable multivibrator is an electronic circuit that generates a continuous square wave output without the need for any external input signal. It consists of two amplifying elements (such as transistors) connected in a positive feedback loop.

2. How does a transistor BC107 work in an astable multivibrator?

The transistor BC107 is a type of NPN bipolar junction transistor (BJT) that is commonly used in astable multivibrators. It acts as a switch, turning on and off rapidly to produce the square wave output. When the base of the transistor is triggered by a small current, it allows a larger current to flow from the collector to the emitter, creating a high output. When the base current is removed, the transistor turns off and the output becomes low. This cycle repeats, creating the oscillating square wave.

3. How do I place a transistor BC107 on a breadboard for an astable multivibrator?

To place a transistor BC107 on a breadboard for an astable multivibrator, you will need to connect the three leads (base, collector, and emitter) to different points on the breadboard. The base should be connected to a resistor and a capacitor in series, while the collector should be connected to a resistor and the power supply. The emitter should be connected to the ground. It is important to follow the correct pinout of the transistor to ensure proper functioning.

4. What is the purpose of the resistors and capacitor in an astable multivibrator with a transistor BC107?

The resistors and capacitor in an astable multivibrator with a transistor BC107 are used to control the timing of the square wave output. The resistors determine the charging and discharging rates of the capacitor, while the capacitor stores and releases the charge to create the oscillating output. The values of these components can be adjusted to change the frequency and duty cycle of the square wave.

5. What are the possible applications of an astable multivibrator with a transistor BC107?

Astable multivibrators with transistors BC107 are commonly used in electronic circuits that require a continuous square wave output, such as in timers, alarms, and pulse generators. They can also be used in combination with other components to create more complex circuits, such as binary counters and frequency dividers. Additionally, they can be used in educational settings to teach basic electronic principles.
