Howdy everybody!
About two weeks ago I decided to finally start in the world of electronics. Got all the gear I wanted and soldered one or two simple projects and loving it. I'm busy reading up on the different components and there are two concepts that I am struggling with. What is the real difference between a relay and a Transistor?
I have found many examples of their applications and they are used in completely different ways but from what I can gather they are pretty much doing the same thing. Can somebody please explain to a noob what the difference really is? I'm sure that I'm over complicating it for myself.
Thanks a lot in advance!
