A transistor (bipolar junction transistor BJT) will only conduct in ONE DIRECTION.

And the voltage drop is not Ohmic - it is *NOT* strictly related to current flow.

If you're referring to a Field-Effect Transitor (JFET, IGFET, MOSFET, etc), then the device may be able to be used in a bidirectional circuit.

But the question stated "transistor", which is understood to be a BJT.

How an n-p-n transistor can be used as a switch?

An n-p-n transistor can be used as a switch by controlling the current flowing through its base terminal. When a small current is applied to the base, it allows a larger current to flow from the collector to the emitter, turning the transistor "on." Conversely, when the base current is removed, the transistor turns "off," stopping the current flow. This on-off control allows the n-p-n transistor to effectively switch electrical circuits.

What is an unbiased transistor?

An unbiased transistor is one being used with no bias voltage to offset its operating point. If the input signal is very small it still can operate as an amplifier but the output will be non-linear. One use for an unbiased transistor is when the transistor is used as a switch, turning it on or off.
