A transistor is a semiconductor(like many) that amplifies and switches electrical signals(electronic switch) in a circuit, it is used inside a circuit which requires switching without been manually operated.

What the difference between Transistor and resistor?
The difference between a Transistor and a Resistor is that a transistor is designed to amplify the electrical current, whereas a Resistor is designed to reduce the electrical current.
How did the word transistor originate?
transient varistor
Why a transistor acts as a switch?
Only because the circuit that its embeded in is designed that way. Remember, a transistor is basicly an amplifier ... only if you design everything to go to the extreams will it act as a switch.
What did William B Shockley invent?
He co-invented the transistor
Is transistor linear or non linear?
linear in active region....
What electronic function made the transistor famous?
The importance of the Transistor was that it could amplify an electrical signal. It was thus an analog of the vacuum tube devices, and could take advantage of the circuit history and applications that had built up over the preceding 50 years.
What is Si transistor?
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
Is active is a cutoff region of transistor?
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
What is the purpose of the Unijunction Transistor?
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.
What are the Similar transistor for 221334 PNP transistor?
Similar to a 2N3906 PNP transistor
How does a transistor behaviour?
how does a transistor behaviour
Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
What is rt in electronics?
I believe that is resistor transistor technology TTL transistor transistor logic
How do you use 'transistor' in a sentence?
I can give you several sentences.I bought a transistor radio.The transistor amplified the signal.We studied the transistor in science class.
What is darlington configuaration?
A Darlington pair uses two transistors connected to behave as a single transistor with a very high current gain (beta). Transistor-1 has its collector connected to the collector of transistor-2. Transistor-1 has its emitter connected to the base of transistor-2. The base of transistor-1 with the emitter and collector of transistor-2 is used as a single transistor.
Are Tip0ff0401 transistor synonym's to 2N3055 transistor?
no is not !
How do you check transistor faulty or not?
the best way is to compeair the data sheet of that transistor to the readings of that transistor. . . . .and u can get the readings of that transistor by using a fungction genrator and a c.r.o
