Transistors are commonly used as electronic switches, for both high power applications including switched-mode power supplies and low power applications such as logic gates.
When the transistor reaches a base voltage of a certain level the current will no longer increase and the output will be held at a fixed voltage. Because of this property the transistor can have values of input voltage such that the output is either completely off or completely on. The transistor is acting as a switch, and this type of operation is common in digital circuits where only "on" and "off" values are relevant.
FOR A TRANSISTOR TO BE CALLED A SWITCH it must be operating into the saturation area. whereby both diodes are fully forward biased. to saturate a transistor Essex current must flow into the base. how much rules of thumbs beta of 10. Pushing more base current will have the effect of increasing saturation voltage meaning there is a trade off. it is incorrect to assume that the voltage will no longer increase I submit that both diodes will follow an exponential curve.

What are the applications of clap switch?
it acts as a direct switch by usingg a battery. it is also used in transistors
How did colossus work without transistors?
There were vacuum tubes before transistors
What is mining of transistor?
A transistor is a device used to switch power between electrical components. Transistors work to amplify existing signals as well as open and close circuits.
What are the operating regions of transistors?
operating region of the transistor is the area of the voltage and an electronic configuration in which a transistor can work with its full efficiency. In that operating region transistor can be used easily what above said by harsh is correct...the following may help u further... Based on application the transistor is decided where to lie. for example transistors are made to lie in active region to make it as amplifier. when transistors are used as switch it is made to lie in saturation region(when switch is made as ON) and cut-off region(when switch is made as OFF).....
What two jobs do transistors do when combined with CPU?
essentially a switch controlled by an electrical current
Why is NPN transistor a straight switch and Why is PNP transistor an inverted switch?
npn and pnp transistors have the same operation as one another, they are both switches, pnps may be known as inverted switches because they work on negative voltage supplys and not positive voltage supplies.
How does graphene work in transistors?
like any other semiconductor
What electrical break-through replaced the vacu tubs as an on off switch making the computers smaller and inexpensive?
Transistors
How does a transistors acts as a switch?
by saturating the junctions it becomes a low resistance current path from a relatively hi impedance.
Within a CPU a transistor act as?
In a microprocessor, field-effect transistors behave as electrically-controlled switches.
What type of transistors can be used in an ECM to switch diesel engine electronic unit injectors?
ECMs use large scale integrated circuits that are usually embedded in epoxy. They do not contain discrete transistors and are generally not designed to be serviced.
What are thermal transistors?
Thermal transistor is an efficient heat control device which can act as a heat switch as well as a heat modulator.
