Back to the basics. How does a CPU work? How does a register work? How does a logic gate work? Even further down the line, you arrive at the metal, and the question arises as to how and why a transistor works.

Probably the most important component of our current time is indeed part of most curricula already at school. And every CS student once learned on the basis of which effects a NPN or PNP transistor works, but who still remembers the details today? 🤷‍♂️

Paul Evans aka The Engineering Mindset has grabbed the topic, and presents it in a visually as well as logically wonderful way. The video fits wonderfully into his how-electronics-work-series and conveys the necessary knowledge in just 9 minutes and 30 seconds.

Beautiful and informative!
