1. Lab #8: Transistor basics of the transistor a few simple circuits No lab report, just excel spreadsheet First time we do this lab! Be prepared for problems! Bardeen’s “transfer resistance” device

2. Transistor Small “base” current controls “large” emitter-collector current. Voltage drop across forward-biased diode about 0.7 V Two back-to-back diodes, one forward and one “reverse” biased. Three terminal device: emitter, collector, base Read lab carefully; it is short.
