I am new to transistors and have been reading what i can about them i just do not understand it. Could someone please explain this to me like a dummy.
For example if i have a coil that is operated at 5 volts and has a coil resistance of 3Ω, Being triggerd by the pin of a pic chip, how do i calculate the base resistance to fully saturate the transistor when the coil requires 1.6 amps?
Thank you so much!
