A transistor has three sections, an emitter, base, and collector. By extracting a small number of electrons from the base, a large # of electrons can flow across the transistor from the emitter, thru the circuit, and back to the collector.

When a PNP transistor is connected in a circuit it can be used as a power amplifier because?

A PNP transistor has no advantage or disadvantage over an NPN transistor in its ability as an amplifier. Rather, the current-handling capacities of the transistor determine if it's usable as an amplifier.


What is the working of a Darlington amplifier?

it is a combination of two transistors connected in series. the emitter of transistor t1 is connected to the base of transistor t2 . now the total circuit acts as a single transistor. this combination will gives high gain, as the gain is multiplied.


What component is typically used as an amplifier?

A transistor

Difference between cascode and cascade amplifier?

cascade: the output of one amplifier stage is connected to the input of another amplifier stages, it's also connected in series. cascode: it said to be cascode, when it has one transistor on the top of another where a common emitter transistor drives a common base transistor.


Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?

transistor has 2 output 1 and 0 so can be used as a switch
