Hey there, i would like to know why it is needed to put a 10k resistor in series with the phototransistor. As far as i could find out a transistor is something like an amplifier which can open the circuit with a very small current from the basis to let more current flow through the transistor emit…

Project 04 - Why do we need the 10k resistor in series with the phototransistor?
