text: Base region is the part of the PNP transistor that controls the small currents that in turn control large amounts of current in the emitter to collector in the transistor.
text: All you need to know is that a transistor works like an amplifier or a switch, using a small current to switch on a larger one.
text: Unlike electron tubes, transistors can operate with low-voltage power supplies (down to several tenths of a volt); the current required in this case may be as small as a few microamperes.
text: The transistor is ON when there is a small current through the base terminal and small positive voltage relative to the emitter terminal.
text: The base current is very small compared to the emitter current.
text: As the base current is very small thus we can say that
text: If there is a small current in the base-emitter circuit, the transistor is switched on and conducts electricity.
text: As mentioned before, if there is a small current in the base-emitter circuit, the transistor is switched on and conducts electricity.
text: If the input current to the base is too small (for example, it cannot overcome the 65uA in the example above), then no current will flow through the base and thus the transistor will never conduct.
text: In this case, the base current is very small, so the current that will have a large flow of current through the current but only a very small amount will actually go out of the base connection here.
text: The base current is very small as compared to emitter and collector current.
text: A transistor can take a small current and turn it into a huge one!
text: The transistor, doing one of the things it is designed to do, picks up this small current and amplifies it by letting current pass through to the LED.
text: In summary, a transistor is fast, switches a small current, has a long lifetime and works with dc only .
