Hello,
I've read that metal film resistors are better than carbon film because they're resistance remains constant even when they heat up from being soldered. And I know they're suppose to be more precise with a 1% variance instead of 5% of the carbon films.
I know capacitors go bad - do...
Correct.
I wikied FET, but the article didn't help much. In layman's terms, what does a FET do?
I'm assuming the leftmost pin in vk6kro's picture is pin 1? Here are the results translated:

Thanks for your response.
I didn't know different 'packages' could hold such a variety of things. (Also nice to know their some of their names now)
Yes, the multimeter's diode mode works just as you said it would for my NPNs.
I took one my TO-92's that I said was acting like a simple bridge and...
Hello,
I bought some large "grab-bags" full of electrical components (I was looking for a good deal). But while trying some of the transistors out, I noticed that they're not all the same.
They ALL look like this...
