How to identify the polarity of the npn transistor when the meter is on resistace scale?
For the identification of the transistor leads when you were only given with a resistance measuring device follow this procedure.as we know that irrespective of the first and the third leads the middle one always represents base. now measure resistance between 1-2 and 2-3 (say a and b)we know that for any transistor the emitter -base junction is forward biased and the base-collector junction is reverse biased. So, we can conclude that emitter-base junction has a very low forward resistance when compared to the large values of collector base junction.so if ,a>b --- 1-collector, 2-base, 3-emittera
What is the purpose of a transistor in a circuit?
A transistor has three leads, called the base, the collector, and the emitter. The voltage of the base (in relation to the ground) determines whether and how much current flows from the collector to the emitter. An NPN transistor can be off, meaning that there is no (or very little) voltage from the base; partly on, meaning that there is some voltage from the base; or saturated, meaning that it is receiving full voltage from the base. A saturated transistor allows the current to flow from the collector to the emitter unopposed; a partly on transistor provides some resistance; and a transistor that is off provides full resistance. A PNP transistor is similar to an NPN transistor except it performs the opposite function: when it is saturated, the current is fully resisted; when there is no voltage from the base, the current is not at all resisted; and when it is partly on there is some resistance. In sum, a transistor controls the flow between the collector and the emitter based upon the voltage of the base. this is carbage. a transistor is basicaly two diodes back to back base being common TO BOTH DIODES because of inpurity doping on purpose at the depletion region the transistor will control the current flow on the other diode. Once it reaches saturation both diodes conduct therefore current can flow in BOTH DIRECTIONS ACROSS IT.
How do transistors amplify weak signal?
A transistor controls the flow of current between the emitter and collector. The larger current is supplied by the power supply, across the emitter and collector. The flow is then controlled by a small current applied to the base connection. So, a large current flow mimics the small signal current. Limits are reached, when the transistor gets close to being fully switched on or off. This will cause distortion. To avoid this, more amplification is provided by a series of transistor amplifiers, one after the other.
How does a transistor electronically switch the output on?
A transistor can electronically switch the output by controlling the flow of current between its two terminals, called the collector and emitter. It has a third terminal, called the base, which acts as a control input. When a small current is applied to the base terminal, it influences the flow of current between the collector and emitter terminals, effectively turning the transistor "on" or "off" and allowing it to change the output state.
How do you determine the value of the feedback capacitor connected between the emitter and collector of the output transistor in an FM transmitter?
This is a vague question. Which transistor, and what is the make of the FM trasmitter? What do you really want to do, design an FM transmitter or repair an existing one?
What do you called the center element between the emitter and collector in a transistor?
The base.
Why transistor is named so?
What?In May 28, 1946, a survey conducted by Bell Labs offered “a discussion of some proposed names”Among them was "transconductance/transfer varistor".So the question repeats the common mistake that it was "transfer resistor".

What is the difference between transistor and FET?
An ordinary junction transistor consists of two junctions. In effect a variation of the base to emitter current influences the reverse leakage current at the base to collector junction. The base being common to both junctions. A Field Effect Transistor uses an electric field to narrow the conductive channel thus varying its resistance. A FET has an extremely high input resistance compared with that of a standard junction transistor.
How a transistor work as an amplifier and as a switch?
"Transistor" name itself revels it transfers resistance from its input to its output (Transfer of resistance). Input resistance varies when input voltage varies, similarly output resistance varies and this leads to voltage variation at the output. Thus input to output voltage variation is called amplification. this is how transistor can be used as an amplifier. If input voltage is minimum output voltage becomes maximum i.e. its output resistance becomes maximum in common emitter configuration. Thus if no voltage is applied at the input its collector resistance becomes infinite or as if open circuit. Similarly if input current is increased output current increases and out put can behave as short circuit. This is how output current can be switched off or on using no input current or with minute input current. Unlike a digital device, the transistor is an analogue device which can be switch on/off to maximum or any gradient in between. Providing a small AC voltage to the base creates an amplified analogue of this signal across the emitter and collector.

Why transistor is called transistor?
Because in this device the resistance between two terminal respectively collector and emitter is changed by changing the base voltage that is it transfers the resistance between emitter and collector therefore it is called as TRANSISTOR. (TRANSFER OF RESISTOR)

What is transistor action?
The transistor has three regions, emitter,base and collector. The base is much thinner than the emitter while the collector is wider than both. However for the sake of convenience the emitter and collector are usually shown to be of equal size. The transistor has two pn junctions that means it is like two diodes. The junction between emitter and base may be called emitter-base diode or simply the emitter diode.The junction between base and collector may be called collector-base diode or simply collector diode. The emitter diode is always forward biased and the collector diode is always reverse biased.
