    Julian, I watched this entire series, which I found quite helpful. I've been working on a project using Mosfets that I've been running into some challenges with. I was wondering how willing you might be to give me some advice/ help. Please and thankyou. Cheers,
    -Ted

    Julian,
    Could you please do a practical transistor video.
    I can not find a video that adequately describes how a npn ( seems less complicated than pop!) transistor works.

    If you have a transistor with the base connected to an adjustable voltage divider,what rules are important?

    I believe the base current controls the Ice

    where does voltage come in?

    If the Vbe is above 0.6V, ( transistor turns on) ,dose voltage play no more part?
    Is it over to current control things , from that point on?

    And if you have a 100k resistor and a 100uf cap, connected to base ,the cap seems to act as a closed sw pulling the base down to zero volts ,this changes as the voltage across the cap increases as it charges up
    .
    This makes it look like it is controlled by voltage not current !

    how this doesn't have more views?!

    Just found this tutorial series, Julian. I have always struggled with understanding transistor based electronics. I recently was given a huge commercial battery backup and salvaged literally DOZENS of IRF3710's from it. Looking up the spec sheet, this is an extremely capable N-channel power mosfet and now, I am putting in the effort to learn how to use them.

    Looking forward to the series and thank you in advance! Cheers mate

    What was used to connect the wires to the mosfet pins?

    I look forward to this! I have a Mosfet that needs replacing on one of my grid ties!
