In a transistor a current from low resistance input circuit is transferred to a high resistance output circuit with almost unchanged magnitude. This results in a power gain. Infact the name 'transistor' is coined from 'transfer resistor'

How do you know if a transistor is a PNP or an NPN?

To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.
