Put simply, no, but devices that do that are built with transistors and other components. All transistors do is convert voltage to current, with various complications.

To convert DC to AC you use an inverter - which isn't a helpful name because there is another electrical system called an inverter that simply inverts the waveform. They're pretty well covered on wikipedia, but a simple description would be they involve using transistors to quickly switch on and off a DC supply to approximate the AC supply.

Transistor are DC output, Triac are AC output.


Is it true a transistor changes alternating current into direct current?

Not usually. A transistor is an amplifier, that can be used as a switch. If set up correctly it can be used to rectify AC current (i.e. convert it into DC), however it will need a capacitor to smooth the DC current (i.e. keep the voltage constant or nearly the same). What is typically used is a rectifier, a small circuit consisting of one or more diodes.

Does electrical transformer use a DC or AC source?

A transformer is a device to convert high voltage AC to low voltage AC & vice-versa. It works on the principle of induction. Since induction occurs only in an AC supply, a transformer cannot work on DC.. So, it is not possible to convert DC supply to AC using transformer. You would need an inverter to convert DC to AC.
