Will a transistor always reduce the voltage? [closed]
I have an NPN transistor that's connected over a 12V adapter. I have tried using a potentiometer to change the resistance of the incomming current. … I have measure the energy without the transistor, in that case it's 12V. Is this expected behaviour of a transistor or is something wrong? …

How is this simple transistor circuit suppose to work? [closed]
I verified that the transistor worked as expected with a voltmeter. … Here is the transistor I used:
As I understand this, the transistor is stimulated to "steal" electrons away from the motors circuit. But it seems connected to the base. Why would you do that? …

How come my transistor doesn't work?
I have a TIP 120 to 229 NON 60V 5A transistor
I'm trying to use it to switch an electro magnet. … I'm not sure if the transistor is before or after the magnet, but I'm not sure how that would make a difference. …
