Okay so I am rather new to electronics and i'm trying to get the whole grasp on transistors.. I have a couple projects I have been wanting to that would require some switches and I figured transistors would be my easier best, such as using a small source to switch on a larger source..
The only problem I have is that I am using a NPN transistor.. I get the logic behind a transistor... a small current gain at the base will make a larger current gain through the E-C... The only problem I am having is that i will apply a load through the E-C.. And my voltmeter is showing current flowing through the E-C without any connection or current at the Base... Is this right?!?
