Darlington Pair A special arrangement of two transistors (often called a DarlingtonPair) is shown in the diagram opposite. There are number of situations in which we might make use this configuration. What are the advantage of using an arrangement such as this? • It is much more sensitive • The TIP121 is a form of Darlington pair and can carry up to 1 amp of current. Most transistors carry 100mA • Only a tiny base current is needed as the gain is around 1000 • Note however that this transistor switches at 1.2V Why?

Variable Resistor Variable resistors consist of a resistance material with connections at both ends and a wiper which moves along the track as the arm is rotated through 270°. The track is normally rotary but straight track versions, usually called sliders, are sometimes used. The further clockwise the wiper is rotated, the larger the resistance.
