A transistor is an electronic component known as a semiconductor. The first practical transistor was invented in 1947 and became an alternative to vacuum tubes (valves) and relays. Early transistors were made with germanium but silicon is used almost universally in semiconductor manufacturing. A single transistor is a few millimetres wide and tall and has three terminals. It works by transferring a high resistance input to a lower resistance output. The transfer of resistance gave rise to the name trans - istor. A transistor will generate a large change in current for a given input or a large change in voltage. There are numerous ways to use them and the applications and science of the transistor can fill many books - too complex to discuss in detail in this answer. Transistors are good amplifiers and are found in radios, music equipment, video systems in their role as an amplifier. They are also very efficient switches and because they will switch from low to high, are common in binary circuits. The transistor is the basis of all digital computers. A modern CPU chip in a computer is actually made of many billions of transistors inside the integrated circuit. A typical computer will have trillions of transistors in total. For further reading, take a look for basic electronics tutorials. All of them will have detailed descriptions of the way a transistor works and demonstrate the more common applications.
Transistor - components that do not conduct electricity unless they are turned on by a different electrical current. This means they can be used as switches , amplifiers and in other ways.
Transitors
Central Processing Unit, CPU
A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power
it is used to make many electronic devices such as transitors, computer chips and many more.
how many transitors does the 2000 pentium chip contain
We do not use transitors from 4 to 10 ohms. We use resistors.
how many transitors does the 2000 pentium chip contain
Silicon and Germanium are the elements used in transistors
A Pentium 4 contains 42 million transistors. Forty-two million transistors isn't very many--the highest-end Itaniums and Xeons have nearly two BILLION transistors.

The technology has changed. Instead of vacuum tubes, transitors were used. This has enabled radios to change from large furniture-like objects to something that fits in a pocket. Radios predate both the Internet and the television. The sorts of things now "broadcast" on these media were once found only on the radio (or in print.)
A logic gate is a digital circuit (made of transitors) that calculates a Boolean truth value. Example operations are AND, OR, NOT.A universal logic gate is one that can be put together in different configurations to perform all the Boolean operations.There are two universal logic gates: NAND (not-AND) and NOR (not-OR).See related link.
