I am not an expert AT ALL, I am just trying and failing. I am learning as I go.. This is why I ask while I learn.
As of my understanding of transistors is that if you give them positive or negative on the base (pnp or npn) then it will lead through emittor and collector. This will increase or decrease after what you input on the base.
