Hello guys,
I have been studying the theory and the practical side of electronics for a while. As Im doing everything on my own, I have large knowledge gaps spread out on different levels.
When I see explanations about transistor, they almost always use the NPN type to explain saturation, Vce and general calculations.
So I ended up having a lot of PNP theory to study and understand (the negative voltages and everything makes it harder for me)
When Im calculating the power dissipation of a transistor, I assume the formula is: P= (Vce)x(Ie)
So I know that if I put 10V at the base of a NPN, and its collector is at 20V, ill get around 11Vce.
How does that work for a PNP? is it exactly the same?
So if I have the emitter at 20V and I apply 10V to the base I will get Vec = 11V?
