In the video, I said that current gain is not an important factor, What I actually meant is that value of Current gain is not needed to be accurate, to saturate a transistor high enough base current is required, In the equation you can assume beta value to be low (around 10) so that base current gets higher.
Also, As beta value changes with temperature, taking lower beta value solves temperature variation problems.

About myself-
My name is Hrishikesh Kalita,
From Pathsala, Assam, India.

Time it took for me to make this video- 50 hours+ in a span of 3 months.
Music I used: "Dreams" by Bensound.com

    It would really help me if you share this video with your friends. It will motivate me to make more videos like this. Thank you!!
  • @ccv3237
    Very well explained, and your English is well pronounced. Thank you much.
  • The way you are explaining is very very simple understanding bro... thank you very much.... for your hard work...๐Ÿค๐Ÿ’ฏ
  • @malmgodbless7
    I finally understand how a transistor works now. After more than 20 years of trying to understand ๐Ÿ˜…. Thanks bro. Gonna watch it again
  • @olisahopene947
    this by far the best explanation of how the transistor works. thank you so much HK
  • @joelkoren3241
    Excellent. Well presented. To d point without ambiquity.
  • @jairojatalon2687
    ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ Nice to see an excelent video explaining those functions, when I began in Electronics there was nothing, 50 year ago...
  • @CrispyCircuits
    Thank you. Very helpful and clear. I recently found a textbook in a used book store called "Basic Mathematics for Electronics". I am looking forward to studying it since it will just cover what I am interested in for electronics math more directly than other books I have found. Please keep making more videos as your time allows.
  • @Jeremiah_
    I usually donโ€™t comment but keep this up bro itโ€™s gonna payoff
  • Very helpful. I was struggling how to interface my ESP32 GPIO pins to a 5v relay, as the pins give 3.3v. This video informed me on how to use a transistor to switch 5v to the relay using a 3.3v input to the base
  • Hope your hard work reaches the world. Even being a non Engn student, I could understand everything! You made it so practical and easy to understand. โค
  • @GiC7
    Master, thanks. You gave until now the best and practical explanation. Keep the good ๐Ÿ‘ explanation, and your channel will grow ๐Ÿ‘
