How transistors work

The video tutorial explains the operation of an NPN transistor using a water flow analogy. It covers the basics of conductors and insulators, focusing on electron flow in materials like copper and rubber. The concept of semiconductors is introduced, with silicon as an example, and the process of doping to create P type and N type materials is explained. The formation of a PN junction and the depletion region is discussed, along with the electric field and potential difference. Finally, the video details the operation of an NPN transistor, including forward and reverse biasing and current flow.
