The small base current controls the larger collector-emitter current through a process called current amplification. -This happens because of how voltage works. Voltage is the potential difference -between two terminals in a circuit. A high voltage increases the flow of current -whereas low voltage restricts or reduces it. - -It follows from this that when the voltage at the base is high, a current flows -from the collector to the emitter and the transistor is "on". Whereas when the -voltage at the base is low no current flows from the collector to the emitter -and the transistor is "off". +When a small voltage is applied to the base, it allows a small current to flow +from the base to the emitter. This base current triggers a much larger current +to flow from the collector to the emitter. Think of it like a water valve: a +small turn of the handle (base current) can control a large flow of water +(collector-emitter current). The transistor amplifies this effect, allowing a +tiny input signal to control a much larger output. ## Transistors and logic gates
