00:00This is a MOSFET. It stands for Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor,
00:06commonly called a MOSFET. You can think of it as a switch, except it's controlled not by hand,
00:13but by voltage. It also has another name, Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor.
00:19The MOSFET can be considered an upgrade of a transistor. The gate does not require a
00:24continuous current supply like the base of a transistor. The term field effect refers to
00:28controlling conduction by establishing an electric field. Of course, its voltage rating is lower
00:33than that of a transistor. Besides functioning as a switch, a MOSFET can also be used as a variable
00:38resistor. That wraps up this episode's video content. If you have any questions, feel free
