Hey there,
I've just done some research into electronics for the first time because I want to create a circuit to make something.
I understand how transistors work but my question relates to how they turn on/off. I know that a voltage applied needs to be higher than a certain level for the switch to turn on (and if not it will be off), but I want to know..
'If you have a battery in a circuit with a transistor, how does the battery modulate the power output? (I assumed that it would always provide the same voltage to the transistor and not fluctuate)'
My second question is..
'When transistors are lined up in a H-bridge formation to convert DC current to AC, how can a single battery modulate which specific gates open? (So to ensure not to short circuit the circuit design)'
Thank you in advance to anyone that can answer my question. I really want to understand the concept.
