This is wonderful, as it has cleared up some things for me. I know with a mechanical switch when it is on, there is no voltage across the switch. Seeing this is a solid-state switch, the voltage should be close to zero when the transistor is saturated. Is that correct?

2026-01-02 18:55:16 +0000 UTCI wonder just how many 555 timer chips there are in the world It must be Billions by now they are still being made, much loved, and still being used BY THE MILLION

2025-09-28 19:50:48 +0000 UTCis there a difference between putting the bulb on the collector side vs the emitter side? what would happen if 6v went directly to the collector, and the emitter side went bulb to ground?

2024-04-02 03:02:44 +0000 UTCUsing V2/R=P, the 2nd resistor is dissipating twice as much power as the first. About 1.6 watts vs about 3.2 watts. For a 1 watt resistor, (I'm assuming), that's a lot of juice! What am I missing?
