Why is a Junction transistor so named?
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'
Why transistor is called so?
transistor. This word is a blended form of transfer of resistor. The legs of transistor (collector, emitter,base) transfer the resistance. So it is called as transistor
Why transistor named transistor?
December 23Three scientists at Bell Telephone Laboratories, William Shockley, Walter Brattain, and John Bardeen demonstrate their new invention of the point-contact transistor amplifier. The name transistor is short for "transfer resistance". (Miniaturization of electronic circuits via the transistor is a key development making personal desktop computers small, reliable, and affordable.)
Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?
transistor has 2 output 1 and 0 so can be used as a switch
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.
What is emitter biasing?
Emitter biasing is when you add a resistor between the emitter of a transistor and the 0v rail so that any voltage developed across the emitter will subtract from the voltage on the base and effectively turn the transistor OFF. We are talking about an NPN transistor and the transistor is an "ordinary transistor" or BJT (bi-polar Junction Transistor). For more information on transistor biasing see: Talking Electronics website.
What is a driver transistor?
dirver transistor is added in a circuit so as to provide required voltage at an operating current which can not be provided by the microcontroller
What is meant by saying at what current is transistor biased?
The saying "at what current is transistor biased" means to ask the current through the transistor when there is no signal present. Typically, a transistor is biased at the center of its linear region, so as to minimize distortion. This, of course, depends on whether or not the transistor is AC or DC coupled, and where the clipping points might be.
What is Si transistor?
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
What was the first commercial calculator?
In 1957, IBM released the first commercial all-transistor calculator named IBM 608.
Is a diode like a transistor?
No. A diode is not like a transistor, and a transistor is not like (two) diode(s). Taken in isolation, the emitter-base and collector-base junctions of a transistor appear to be diodes, but they are coupled together so that the base-emitter current affects the collector-emitter current.
Who wrote the song Twisted Transistor?
The song "Twisted Transistor" is a song recorded by a band named American nu metal by Korn and the Matrix from Korn's studio album titled "See you on the other side". This is his 7th album.
