Following up from Episode #10 on BJTs, this episode is focused on introducing MOSFETs. It is the longest video we’ve done yet, coming in just over 7 and a half minutes.

There is a basic overview of how MOSFETs work, compared to a BJT. And something that is really important to consider: how hot is it going to get? So we go through how to calculate power dissipation and if you need a heat sink.

The two most popular kinds of transistors you might use for a project are either BJTs or MOSFETs. With so many options, it was tough to pick just a few.

We covered the 2n3904 in this video. What BJTs are your favorites and why? Leave a comment below.

Transistors are electronic switches that are used to control things that would kill an Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or Beaglebone. There are two major types known as a BJT and MOSFET. This is part 1 of a two part series, which looks at BJTs first.
