How can transistor be prevented from burning?
With a constant magnetic field,induced voltage in the primary L1 reduces to zero. With zero base current,transistor switch OFF opening the Collector-Emitter junction. LED use the energy stored in the magnetic fields to glow and it will glow until all the energy stored is used.

How do you test a transistor on a circuit board?
To test a transistor for functionality, you will need to turn the dial of the multi-meter to the diode setting. Next, connect the meter’s positive lead to the base terminal of the transistor. You should then touch the negative lead of the meter to the transistor’s collector terminal and check for resistance.
How do you identify a leg transistor?
Transistors typically have one round side and one flat side. If the flat side is facing you, the Emitter leg is on the left, the Base leg is in the middle, and the Collector leg is on the right (note: some specialty transistors have different pin configurations than the TO-92 package described above).
How do you test the resistance of a transistor?
To test your transistor, first clamp the black probe of a multimeter to the transistor’s base. Then, touch the red probe to the emitter and read the display to see if the resistance is high or low. Next, move the red probe to the collector, and check that the reading is the same as it was before.
What does burnt copper on a PCB mean?
As you can see, some solder points seem burnt. The copper trace has been removed. Does this mean the PCB is dead? If I solder the component on the solder points, will it work? Maybe I should do prework, like remove pieces of solder with solder wick?
How do you test a PNP transistor base?
Touch the black probe to each of the other 2 leads. If the display shows high resistance when each of the leads are touched, you have found the base (and you have a good PNP transistor). If the display shows 2 different readings for the other 2 leads, clamp the red probe to another lead and repeat the test.
How does a transistor work in a circuit?
The emitter sends a current out into the circuit, but only if the base allows the collector to pass the current through the transistor to the emitter. The base acts like a gate. When a small current is applied to the base, the gate opens and a large current can flow from the collector to the emitter.
