So I’m creating a circuit using a (Mini Pushbutton Switch) that controls a (12V Solenoid Valve - 3/4’’) and my question is solely on the resistor values and the mosfet that’s being automatically added when I add them to my circuit.
- How are these values determined? Where does the math behind them come from? If I do V=IR, while V is 12V and I is 50mA for the button, shouldn’t R = 240 ohms? It’s automatically making it 10 k Ohm.
- Also how is the Gate resistance for the Mosfet being determined to be 10 k Ohms as well?
Thx
