NPN
Transistor= base(+), collector(+), emitter(-)
PNP
Transistor= base(-), collector(-), emitter(+)

10k ohm (higher resistance) on base to limit current of the transistor in both circuits.

*im trying to understand how to use transistors

Please add any comparisons/insight in comments to help us learn!

I copied these circuits from Keven Patterson on YouTube:

Both resistors would be known as pull down resistors right?
