∙ 9y ago-- less power required to operate the transistor
-- fewer distinct voltages required to operate it
-- less heat generated by a transistor
-- no warm-up time delay required
-- physically smaller
-- lighter weight
-- lower cost since the mid-1950s, and the gap has steadily grown

What electronic function made the transistor famous?
The importance of the Transistor was that it could amplify an electrical signal. It was thus an analog of the vacuum tube devices, and could take advantage of the circuit history and applications that had built up over the preceding 50 years.
What electronic component is a gate or switch for electrical signals?
Transistor or vacuum tube.
What is the function of the ECC83 vacuum tube?
The ECC83 vacuum tube is more commonly sold as the 12AX7 and is a triode tube. This tube is used in a similar way that a modern transistor would be used in audio amplification applications. The ECC83 has a smaller size and a high gain at lower signal levels making it perfect for an audio pre-amp.
Does a cathode ray tube resemble the tubes used in transistor radios?
Transistor radios have NO tubes. They have (guess what) transistors.
Did vacuum tubes replace transistors?
No the Transistor replaced vacuum tubes in 1947 and later by integrated circuits.This was answered by ...John Nelson Brundage the third seventh grader at GAISER MIDDLE SCHOOL, VANCOUVER SCHOOL DISTRICT, VANCOUVER WASHINGTON
What computer component did the transistor replace?
the vacuum tube
What replaced the vacuum tube?
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.

What electronic component is a gate or switch for electrical signals?
Transistor or vacuum tube.
What is a vacuum tube used for?
The same things a transistor is used for.
What invention replaced the vacuum tube?
The answer to the question is TRANSISTER
How many vacuum tube in one transistor?
There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.
When did transistors replace the vacuum tube?
A Transistor is an electronic device which amplifies electrical signals, or acts as a switch. Most of the research on Transistors was performed by Shockley in 1947. That was when, the advantages of the solid state device similar in function to a Triode Vacuum tube were understood and implemented. The basic advantage was compactness..
Is a vacuum tube far more stable than a transistor?
yes but vacuum tubes produce more sperm trololol
What characteristics made the transistor better than the vacuum tube?
There were obvious differences between the trasisitor and the vacum tube. The transistor was faster, more reliable, smaller, and much cheaper to build than a vacuum tube. One transmisor was the equivalent 40 vacuum tubes. They also didn't produce heat compare it to a vacuum tubes. Conduct electricity faster and better than vacuum tubes.
Is Vcc notation used only in a transistor circuit?
Vcc is used in bipolar transistor circuitsVdd is used in field effect transistor circuitsB+ is used in vacuum tube circuits
What is it about the transistor that made it such a great improvement over the vacuum tube?
The transistor was many times smaller than the vacuum tube meaning that many more of them could be wired into series so that a computer with twice the computing power could be for to eight times smaller than a computer using vacuum tubes. It also made it possible for handheld radios and personal computers. Tv's became half the size as well. With the invention of the integrated transistor in a circuit board, the computing power to size took another huge leap.
