An n-p-n transistor can be used as a switch by controlling the current flowing through its base terminal. When a small current is applied to the base, it allows a larger current to flow from the collector to the emitter, turning the transistor "on." Conversely, when the base current is removed, the transistor turns "off," stopping the current flow. This on-off control allows the n-p-n transistor to effectively switch electrical circuits.
The same things a transistor is used for.
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

the earliest safe dimmer switch - used in the theater - was invented by Granville Woods in the 1890's.

npn and pnp transistors have the same operation as one another, they are both switches, pnps may be known as inverted switches because they work on negative voltage supplys and not positive voltage supplies.
What is a 2N2369 transistor.It's an npn switching transistor.
It is an npn power transistor
When both junctions of an NPN transistor are reverse biased, the transistor is in the cutoff mode. In this mode, the transistor is effectively turned off, and it does not conduct current between the collector and emitter. As a result, the transistor behaves like an open switch, preventing current flow in the circuit.
An NPN transistor is a type of semiconductor device, specifically a bipolar junction transistor, and is not classified as a process or output. It serves as a fundamental building block in electronic circuits, functioning as a switch or amplifier. In this context, it can control current flow and signal amplification, but it itself is not a process or output.

BT169 is neither an NPN nor a PNP transistor. BT169 is a thyristor, otherwise known as a silicon controlled rectifier.
To convert an NPN signal to a PNP signal, you can use an inverter circuit, typically implemented with a transistor or a logic gate. For a simple transistor-based solution, connect the NPN transistor's collector to the power supply, its emitter to the load, and the base to the NPN signal through a resistor. When the NPN is on (high signal), it will turn off the PNP transistor, resulting in a low output, and vice versa, effectively inverting the signal.
Generally upstream is closer to the positive (+) voltage source. In the case of an NPN transistor upstream of the transistor is the part of the circuit from (+) to the NPN collector pin. Downstream of the transistor is from the NPN emitter pin to the ground / sink / negative (-) terminal.
