I've just got into electronics about three days ago and started reading the tutorials on this website (best one I could find!) and yesterday I bought what I wanted and started trying to make something. I made a simple LED switch but then wanted to make logic gates with transistors. So I first tried something really simple, and surprise-surprise, it didn't work. I did look up information of what resistors etc. to use for the transistors, but I guess I did something wrong (my bet is that there's a too weak wrong resistor for the base current or something even more stupid).
Here's a picture of what I tried:
And a crappy drawing:
I have a 9V battery, from the negative pole come two resistors. One is 4.3KR (base) and other is 360R. The transistor is 2N3904. More details in bottom picture. I know I probably just a made a stupid mistake or perhaps pretty much the whole thing is a disaster.
Thanks ahead!
