S8050 is a NPN transistor hence the collector and emitter will be left open (Reverse biased) when the base pin is held at ground and will be closed (Forward biased) when a signal is provided to base pin. It has a maximum gain value of 400; this value determines the amplification capacity of the transistor normally S8050. Since it is very high it is normally used for amplification purposes. However at a normal operating collector current the typical value of gain will be 110. The maximum amount of current that could flow through the Collector pin is 700mA, hence we cannot drive loads that consume more than 700mA using this transistor. To bias a transistor we have to supply current to base pin, this current (IB) should be limited to 5mA.
