Transistors are made up of semiconductor materials with very low power dissipation. Semi conductors are sensitive to high voltages and current and can be easily destroyed.

These devices are commonly used for switching as well as amplifying action.

Recent developments in semiconductor technology have enabled them to be made to withstand higher currents and voltages.

Switch mode power supplies use transistors which work at 300v and many amps.

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.

Why transistor is called as bi-polar device?

Transistor is called Bi-Polar device because the current can be flow due to electron and holes, hence it is called bipolar.


Why the transistor is not used in switching 'AC voltage'?

The transistor is a "single direction current flow" device. Typically, for an NPN device, the collector must be more positive than the emitter for the device to bias on. You could use the transistor in an AC circult, but it would only conduct on half the cycle.
