    Transistors: NPN, PNP, which is preferred, how do they work?

    Wait, so, just to be sure I have a firm grasp on this. This is is assuming that the NPN transistor is forward active. In an NPN transistor the Collector must be positive with respect to the Emitter, and the current being controlled by the device is dependent upon the positive voltage bias...

    Transistors: NPN, PNP, which is preferred, how do they work?

    Thanks a bunch skeptic2, in my searches I also found this neat little Java applet that some guy coded up. http://www.falstad.com/circuit/ I like it because it shows electron flow.

    Transistors: NPN, PNP, which is preferred, how do they work?

    Hello, I am a High School senior that is going to major in EE next year and I am a having some serious trouble with transistors. I understand them at the most rudimentary level (they function like switches, right... please tell me I am right?) but the nuances that come into play when actually...
