In a microprocessor, field-effect transistors behave as electrically-controlled switches.
probably Silicium, cause that's what CPUs ar made of, and CPU are a bunch of transistors
A transistor acts like a resistor when Gate is connected to Source.
A: When a transistor is saturated current can flow in both direction qualifying it as a switch
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.
A transistor does not act as an amplifier. It is used as a component in an amplifier circuit.

For switching applications transistor is biased to operate in the saturation or cutoff region. Transistor in cutoff region will act as an open switching whereas in saturation will act as a closed switch.
Voltage amplifier
The transistor was invented by Bell Labs in 1948. Applications in consumer devices followed within a few years after that.
central processing unit(cpu)
pulse of positive voltage is not indicate to zero
yeah...it can... if u attach a thermometer to it!! =) =P
The symbol of a transistor is often drawn within a circle to denote that it is an integrated or encapsulated electronic component. The circle helps to visually distinguish the transistor from other circuit elements, emphasizing its role as a discrete device. Additionally, the circular symbol can indicate that the transistor is part of a larger circuit or system, highlighting its function in controlling current flow within that context.
The two types of transistor switches inside a CPU are NMOS (n-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor) and PMOS (p-channel metal-oxide-semiconductor) transistors. NMOS transistors conduct when a positive voltage is applied to the gate, allowing current to flow from drain to source, while PMOS transistors conduct when a negative voltage is applied, allowing current to flow from source to drain. Together, these transistors form complementary pairs, enabling efficient logic operations and the construction of complex circuits such as gates and flip-flops within the CPU. This complementary technology is commonly referred to as CMOS (complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor).
