Simple Transistor Switching
Intro: Simple Transistor Switching
Transistors have 3 pins: Emitter, Base, and Collector. If you apply power to the Emitter and Collector pins, the Collector will emit power. This can be used to make electronic switches, passcode locks, ETC.
This uses:
- 1x 2n3904 Transistor
- 1x Switch
- 1x LED
- 1x 100R Transistor
- 1x Breadboard
- And Some Breadboard Wires

STEP 1: EBC
STEP 2: Add the 2n3904
STEP 3: Add the Positive Wire
STEP 4: Add the Switch
STEP 5: Add the 100R Resistor
STEP 6: Add Your LED
STEP 7: Flip the Switch a Few Times?
Does the LED turn on or off?
