TIP!
Remember that the kit contains two different types of transistors:
the NPN type and the PNP type. You have to be careful to use the
right one each time..

Digitally Connected
In this chapter’s experiments, you will be learning about what is widely accepted as the
most important component in electronics — the transistor.
The transistor has many uses. You will start by using it as an electrically activated
switch. Switches like this form the basis of all digital technology — in other words,
computers. Each computer chip contains billions of transistors.
