There were several reasons:
Note: they did NOT switch to transistors because they were cheaper! In the late 1950s when the switch began almost any computer grade vacuum tube sold for less than $10 but each computer grade transistor usually still cost at least $20. This situation did not change significantly until the computer industry was already switching from transistors to integrated circuits.
the vacuum tube
You get two transistors and put them in a radio.
The transistor replaced the vacuum tube, allowing radios to get much smaller and portable.
Transistor or vacuum tube.
The answer to the question is TRANSISTER
The same things a transistor is used for.
A: ABSOLUTELY but only in its function . To implement a change requires additional power requirements and design
There are no vacuum tubes in a transistor. A vacuum tube is an electronic device that uses a heated cathode in a vacuum to direct and control an electron stream to an anode, also known as the plate. The vacuum tube is old technology, but it is still used today, typically in high power applications such as transmitters. A transistor is an electronic device that uses solid-state semiconductors to similarly control an electron stream. The transistor is newer than the vacuum tube. It offers lower power, smaller size, easier use and other enhancements over vacuum tubes, within limits, of course, such as voltage and power.
yes but vacuum tubes produce more sperm trololol
There were obvious differences between the trasisitor and the vacum tube. The transistor was faster, more reliable, smaller, and much cheaper to build than a vacuum tube. One transmisor was the equivalent 40 vacuum tubes. They also didn't produce heat compare it to a vacuum tubes. Conduct electricity faster and better than vacuum tubes.
Vcc is used in bipolar transistor circuitsVdd is used in field effect transistor circuitsB+ is used in vacuum tube circuits
The transistor was many times smaller than the vacuum tube meaning that many more of them could be wired into series so that a computer with twice the computing power could be for to eight times smaller than a computer using vacuum tubes. It also made it possible for handheld radios and personal computers. Tv's became half the size as well. With the invention of the integrated transistor in a circuit board, the computing power to size took another huge leap.
