There are three terminals on a transistor. Some have four, where the fourth is a screen.
The normal three are Emitter, base and collector. The Emitter emits electrons, the collector collects them and the base controls the flow.

Transistor is a three terminal device. Its shape may differ with applications.


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.

It would be zero because there is a leakage.


Why is it important that the two capacitors must have there positive terminal toward the transistor?

Capacitors if polarized care less about a transistor or other devices all they care that the proper polarities are applied.


What is base resistance Rb?

Base resistance (Rb) is the resistance seen by the base terminal of a transistor when analyzing its behavior in a circuit. It is a parameter used to model the input impedance of the transistor and is crucial in determining the biasing and signal amplification characteristics of the transistor circuit.


What value of Vce would you expect if the base terminal of a transistor were open?

If the base terminal of a transistor is open, the transistor will be in an off state, meaning it is not conducting. In this condition, the collector-emitter voltage (Vce) would be expected to be approximately equal to the supply voltage, as there is no current flow through the collector-emitter path. Hence, Vce would be close to the maximum supply voltage applied to the collector.
