I just looked at your schematic. I don't believe this circuit could possibly work with a 900 k load. The anode current would never even reach the holding current level.

There are a few things that could be keeping your circuit from operating properly. First, looking at the application examples on the data sheet it appears that this device is designed to operate from a fairly high anode voltage (typically 50 V or higher). For an anode current of 100 mA, the...

I think that many engineers and physicists tend to view biology courses (especially at the undergrad level) as mostly lots of rote memorization, with very little emphasis on deriving things from first principles or "problem solving," in the traditional physics sense. The view of the typical...
