I understand what XXX was talking about.
We must learn to stand and walk before we can run (with any degree of success).
I think XXX was just saying that now the basics have been laid down in this thread, the Wiki reference is a good place to EXPAND ones knowledge. And if there are any difficult terms in Wiki's entry...that's what google is for...to help find word definitions.
I wonder if any of the flames targeted at XXX come from the mentality that it is always better to take a class on something/go to college to learn something than to try and self-educate.
I am reminded of the bar scene in "Good Will Hunting" where Matt Damon disses a pseudo-intellectual History Major--made me want to stand up and cheer.
The study of any subject begins by learning the subject's language...its jargon. If understanding of concepts can't be achieved on one's own, that is what these forums are for.
p.s. If you click on XXX's link and scroll down to the FET operation segment, it explains in more detail ZX9RBART's description of "wave shape"...to give an idea of how the current is modified by the transistor.
