What are the differences between electronic multiplexer and mechanical multiplexer?
An electronics multiplexer will select an output by a digital code. a mechanical multiplexer will select an out by a mechanical switch of sort possibly driven by a motor
Is a transistor a small electronic switch?
A transistor is used to switch electronic signals.
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.
What is Transit time in transistor or diode?
A transistor is a switch. A diode directs the flow of current.
What electronic component is a gate or switch for electrical signals?
Transistor or vacuum tube.

How can you build a remote control electronic device that will press a button?
You build an electronic device to control a transistor switch that causes a mechanical device to push the switch. Now days we bypass the mechanical switch and the circuit can do the switching.
Is a transistor a small electronic switch?
A transistor is used to switch electronic signals.
What is the purpose of the Unijunction Transistor?
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.
What is transistor BC557?
it is a transistor used in IR TOGGLE SWITCH. :-)
Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?
transistor has 2 output 1 and 0 so can be used as a switch
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 is the difference between a switching transistor and an ordinary transistor?
In the switching transistor the output current is controlled by the (current) and this is also called current controlled current device (CCCD). But in ordinary switch we controlled output current physically...
How does a npn transistor switch work to switch a load on and off?
let's insert a transistor in place of the switch to show how it can control the flow of electrons through the lamp. Remember that the controlled current through a transistor must go between collector and emitter. Since it is the current through the lamp that we want to control, we must position the collector and emitter of our transistor where the two contacts of the switch were. We must also make sure that the lamp's current will move against the direction of the emitter arrow symbol to ensure that the transistor's junction bias will be correct as in Figure below(b).
