Hi guys, haven't been on here in a while. Here is the link to the page I'm referring to.

In the paragraph below the first Figure, 2nd line. "Because its saturated, the transistor drops very little voltage between collector and emitter, resulting in an output voltage of (practically) 0 volts."

Should it be 5 Volts if there is almost no voltage drop?

Thanks

 

This is correct.

This is correct.

The power supply stays 5V. I don't see the problem.

 

Ugh, sorry... was having a blonde moment. I forgot that the transistor acts as an open if there's no voltage to the base. I think I just got confused.
