Jeff, Beta is most definitely a factor in the current gain of an emitter follower. This is most important with a linear regulator where the load is driven by the emitter. The beta determines the current gain of the pass transistor and how much current must be driving the base. If a transisto

Gary, Might be correct about a light bulb. Some would say it is active, hi. However, its material is not changed, just heated up. The amp meter does not change its parameters, just reacts to a signal similar to an inductor. A diode's atoms change and react to applied signal unlike a resistor
