[TriEmbed] name that title (& Monday reminder)

Tue Mar 28 16:03:11 CDT 2017

I was looking up something else, and ran into diagrams that reminded me of
this discussion ...

I don't know who plagiarized from whom, but here is the same diagrams on a
Basic Electronics website:
https://www.slideshare.net/DanielMusyoka1/basic-electronics-39643994 (slide
21 of 54)

Also there is a massive mess of other diagrams (and their associated books
and/or websites) by searching Google images:
https://www.google.com/search?newwindow=1&site=&tbm=isch&source=hp&biw=1216&bih=897&q=npn+water+analogy&oq=npn+water+analogy&gs_l=img.12...12226.25175.0.28832.23.8.2.13.15.0.120.676.0j6.6.0....0...1ac.1.64.img..2.6.676.0..0j0i5i30k1j0i8i30k1j0i24k1.QIxB8gT7zuI
