At this time the transistor behaves like an open switch.
When there is light near the LDR, its resistances gets LOW and the input voltage at base terminal is below 0.7V which is not enough to turn ON the transistor. Now as you see in the circuit diagram below, we made a voltage divider circuit using LDR and 1 mega ohm resistor. When there is no voltage on Base terminal it works as an open switch between collector and emitter. In an NPN transistor, Current starts flowing from collector to emitter only when a minimum voltage of 0.7V is supplied to the base terminal.
#PNP TRANSISTOR SCHEMATIC HOW TO#
In this tutorial we will show you how to use a NPN and PNP transistor for switching, with example transistor switching circuit for both NPN and PNP type transistors.īefore starting with the circuit diagram, you should know the concept of NPN transistor as a switch. If we talk about amplification, the electronic current circulation can be altered by the addition of electrons and this process brings voltage variations to affect proportionally many variations in output current, bringing amplification into existence.Īnd, if we talk about switching, there are two types of transistors NPN and PNP.
Some of the transistors placed individually or else generally in integrated circuits which vary according to their applications. Not all but most of the electronic devices contain one or more types of transistors. Transistors are made up of semiconductor material which is most commonly used for amplification or switching purpose, although they can also be used for controlling the flow of voltage and current.
