Resistor base current no change

00:44:01

How come the current doesn't change when you adjust the base resistor? 🤔

The resistor value is just too small for the changes to be noticeable. Changing the 1Ω down to the minimum of 1uΩ there’s still no difference but at 10Ω there’s some detectable change. Once you increase it to 100Ω and above it follows how you’d expect a BJT to typically work since it’s no longer in saturation (eg. Ic will equal β*Ib)
