##### Understanding resistors
The only step I needed to figure out is why it work like this and why doesn't the speaker blow up when connected because there is 9 volt on the circuit and the speaker is rated for 1 volt. I still have a lot of trouble wrapping my head around how voltage drops because of a resistor.
Voltage can be seen as the speed of water traveling through a tube. A resistor makes the tube smaller for a small part so the water slows down. So the voltage drops.

V = I * R

This is Ohms law. So to keep a constant voltage you need to make sure your current is also constant and not changing constantly. In that way you can keep a constant voltage.

#### Back to the speaker
I watched [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U0FIG2J6Zls) video and now understand the fundementals of a amplifier. The only thing necessary is something that can make an small signal big. For that I can use a MOSFET. I also need to make sure the MOSFET doesn't over current the speaker so that's why it needs a resistor before the gate pin. And I need some sort of buffer for the speaker once it needs a lot of power.

When I was looking for MOSFET's through the Fab library I found 2 type of MOSFET's P channel and N channel. I quickly searched what it does.

So for my use case I will need a N channel MOSFET that can work output a linear voltage based on what is supplied on the gate.

I first had this setup. But then I asked AI for feedback and it told me I used the wrong transistor because it could only be on or off and not anything in between.
