At the end of this lesson, you will be able to:
build a circuit with 1 transistor
go over Single LED
go over single transistor
the ones we have are not perfect, it will be low power and high power vs off and on
flat side away from you, when placing in the breadboard
then collector will be on your right and emitter on your left
Note: the transistor Base has a 4.7 kΩ resistor
watch this video, "Logic Gates, Truth Tables, Boolean Algebra "
watch the first to 1:00 to 3:44
nil
circuit - "Single Transistor"
draw the schematic diagram
ensure you include 4 notes, on the schematic diagram:
the "Truth Table"
the course code, your name and the title
the Input(s)
the Output(s)
draw the breadboard diagram in TinkerCad Circuits
build the real circuit on your breadboard
step through the truth table and take a picture showing it is working correctly
in this case you will have 2 images
if you finish early, move to next circuit

Truth Table Row:
A = 0, Output = 0
Truth Table Row:
A = 1, Output = 1

Note: He is using a push button and we use a 2 way switch. When the button is not pressed, the circuit is completely broken. This NEVER happens inside a computer (indeterminate state!). When it is a logical "0", the input is attached to ground "-", not just not connected.
