Transistor amplifiers add-on pack

This add-on pack can be added to one of our basic kits to allow students to understand the use of transistors in amplifier circuits. Students construct a number of different types and classes of transistor amplifiers included classes A, B and AB and analyse their behaviour. Curriculum including experiments, teacher's notes is available on the Locktronics resources page of the website.

Learning objectives include:

• Testing transistors
• BJT transistor characteristics
• Transistor as a switch
• Transistor as an amplifier
• Transformer coupled amplifier
• Stabilised common-emitter amplifier
• Two-stage amplifier
• Push-pull amplifier
