How Transistors Work……..
The transistor is a bipolar device made up from 3 layers of semi conductor materials
N type (poor Conductor)
P type (good Conductor)

The BC 108 is common general-purpose transistor. The diagram below shows the position of the legs when viewed from underneath the case.
The transistor has to be connected into circuits correctly. The arrowhead on the emitter indicates the direction of ‘conventional’ current flow that is, opposite to the electron flow.

How Transistors Circuits are built….
Using input transducer devices that convert a change in physical conditions into a change in resistance and voltage. This can then be processed in an electrical network based on a voltage divider circuit.

Build a circuit on a bread board
Problem: Mr & Mrs Beverage go regularly to their local clubby. When coming home, usually too worse for drink. They stot and fumble in the dark trying to open the door for ages, causing him to swear loudly and wake up Mr Walker next door.
Brief: Design Mr Beverage a system that will bring on a Light when it gets dark and has an adjustment that can alter for summer time- leaving Mr Beverage more money for drink.
Investigate: LDR voltage divider configuration to provide a “darkness” sensorDesign & Build: A proto type using a breadboard
