Are transistors polarised?

No it alternates the power from the circuit/circuits.


Why do transistors sometimes need heatsinks?

These types of transistors are power transistors and generate heat. The heat sink is used to dissipate the heat. If the transistor gets too hot it will fail.


What was thre transistors replaced by in the 1960?

Transistors were shortly thereafter replaced by integrated circuits, which further minimized size and lessened power requirements.


Why thyristors are preferrred over transistors?

Thyristors are preferred in applications that require the characteristics on a thyristor. Thyristors are quite different to transistors, when they turn on, they stay turned on untill the power source is removed. Transistors conduct as controlled by the emitter current.


Can you see transistors?

Basically, in transistor, the signal is transferred from low resistance circuit to the high resistance circuit. So it is called transfer+resistor=Transistor.Transistors are widely used in different types of switching, amplifiers, oscillators and integrated circuits.Based on the applications, the types of the transistors are as given below:General purpose transistors, Low frequency transistors, High frequency transistors, Power transistors, Switching transistors, Field Effect Transistors, MOSFET, Uni-junction Transistors, Bi junction transistors, Photo transistor, High power transistors, Complementary pair, Darlington amplifier, Video and R.F. amplifier, Ultrahigh frequency and microwave, Insulated gate bipolar transistors, Static induction transistors.More their to know about transistors are as given below:History of invention, Time-line throughout, Basic construction, Bias arrangement, working, Various currents in transistors, Basic transistor amplifier, Configurations, Characteristics, Current gain and relation among them, D.C. load line, Operating point, Biasing of transistor, stability factor, specifications and ratings, testing, colour coding, identification of transistor using multimeter, h-parameter of transistor, particular applications etc...

Can PNP transistors be used in place of TIP31 transistors?

No...TIP31 is NPN. The complementary PNP is a TIP32. They are both large high power (40W) devices.


Why do you try to use integrated circuits instead of transistors in modern equipment?

I modern Integrated circuit may have hundreds of thousands of transistors in it. They seriously reduce the size of a unit and the power required to operate it. Your laptop computer would be a small building if it were made from individual transistors and require special power to run.
