Why is a resistor positioned before the transistor?

It is done in order to protect the transistor from the heavy currents flowing (resistor reduces current flow) into its terminals.


Why transistor is called transfer of resistor?

Transistor=Transfer+Resistor. When Transistor operates in active region its input resistance is high and output resistance is low. So,We can consider transistor as a device which transfers its resistance from high to low. And by this property transistor amplifies input signal.
