How to Use IRF510?
The MOSFET is a switch device that turns on when enough gate voltage is available. Otherwise, it will stay on turn-off. This simulation will show how IRF510 turns on an LED. The current won’t pass from drain to source if the gate voltage applied is insufficient to turn on the device. The LED will turn on when the gate voltage is high enough to turn ON MOSFET.
