Transistors provide most of the activities a circuit needs to operate. In their most basic representation, transistors are amplifiers. That is, they take and amplify a signal from the level produced by a microphone and amplify it enough to blast it out through a speaker. Transistors are also used on decision making circuits, like electronic gates and Central Processing Units (CPUs). Solid state, electronic systems like desktop computers, cell phones, and GPS devices would not be possible without transistors.

What are transistors made of?
Transistors are made from semiconductor materials. Silicon transistors are currently the most common.COMMONSiliconGermaniumGallium-Arsenide (GaAs)Silcon-GermaniumGallium Nitride (GaN)DiamondRARE
Difference between an integrated circuit and transistor?
Basically a transistor is just one single component and has no function by itself, while an IC is composed of several components of various types (transistors, diodes, resistors, and capacitors) pre-wired into a specific circuit having a specific function that it performs.An IC can now have as few as two components in it to hundreds of billions of components in it, soon the technology for making ICs will probably be able to put hundreds of trillions of components in one IC and the ultimate limit is still uncertain.
How many transistors are in a radio?
Depends on the radio. Early Transistor radios started with just one and it was to replace the valve which was in turn used for signal amplification. Today, a sophiticated radio may have several chips inside them that can contain millions of transistors each. There is no absolute definitive answer to this question.
What are you doing to the electrical circuit in your radio when you turn the radio on and off?
When you turn your radio on and off, you are simply flicking the switch in the circuit, the same as any circuit with a switch in it. When you turn it on, the switch completes the circuit, and current can flow around the circuit.
What is the use of 100uF and 10uF capacitors in clap switch and the uses of the transistors the source is 6 volts?
Without the actual schematic of the device to examine any answers given would be worthless random speculation. All component values and their exact connections must be known to analyze an electronic circuit correctly and if it contains any custom ICs even that is useless as it is unlikely that the function and operation of the ICs can be determined.
Are transistors polarised?
No it alternates the power from the circuit/circuits.
What are circuit patterns?
Circuit patterns are the collections of transistors, capacitors, and associated components and their interconnections.
Type of circuit may contain thousands of tiny transistors?
"Integrated circuit" (IC, or "chip")
What kind of circuit contain thousands of tiny transistors?
it is nothing
What Integrated circuits that contain millions of transistors?
Almost every ICs contain millions of transistors it would make for a very long list!
How many transistors on an integrated circuit?
ICs have been built with as few as two to as many as hundreds of billions of transistors. I believe the first germanium prototype IC built by Kilby may have had only one transistor (it was an integrated circuit not for having many transistors, but because it integrated both resistors and transistors into a single germanium crystal).
How can transistors act as amplifiers or switches?
by creating two circuit loops
What are the advantages of collector to base biased?
it converts it to a diode. sometimes this is done for matching the characteristics of diodes and transistors in the circuit. standard diodes might not have similar enough curves to the transistors for the circuit to operate correctly.
What is the complete electronic circuit with transistors and other electronic component on a small silicon chip is called?
ntegratd circuit
What is an darlington array?
An integrated circuit with several darlington transistors on it. Usually they are independent darlingtons.
What is darlington array?

What is super-thin slice of semiconducting material packed with microscopic circuit elements such as wires transistors capacitors logic gates and resistors?
