Hi all i am having a mental lapse here with some basic transistor stuff
I get on a regular BJT you apply voltage to the base and you get flow from collector to emitter
I have no experience with FET stuff and I'm curious why i cant get a simple LED to light up with a MOSFET P channel
I have 5 volts waiting on S
I have a 100ohm resistor and an LED connected to the drain and then to ground.
I put 5 volts to the gate and the led turn on. When i remove the 5V from the gate the LED stays on unless i touch the gate to ground. Is this normal? Im confused? I thought they worked the same way as a BJT did?
Can someone just give me a quick 3 sentences on what im doing wrong with out getting to technical?
Thanks
