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 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.


Why RC couple is called transistor?

Its not!


Why transistor so named?

Transistor stands for "Transfer Resistor". (Resistor of transference)


Why transistor is called as bi-polar device?

Transistor is called Bi-Polar device because the current can be flow due to electron and holes, hence it is called bipolar.


Why pnp transistor is called so?

The types of dopant used are: p-type, n-type, p-type respectively.


What is unmodulated signal from a transistor is called?

When the out from a transistor is the exact replic of the input signal then it is called unmodulated signal i e. there will not be any change in frequency voltage power etc


Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?

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


What can the input of a transistor be called?

The input of a transistor is typically referred to as the "gate" in a field-effect transistor (FET) or the "base" in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). In both cases, the input controls the flow of current through the transistor, allowing it to function as a switch or amplifier in electronic circuits. The gate or base receives the input signal that modulates the transistor's operation.


Why a transistor is called with BC547?

A small signal NPN transistor used for general purpose audio amplifiers and switching.


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.


Why is MOSFET called IGFET?

MOSFET is Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor. IGFET Insulated Gate Field Effect Transistor. But these expressions are practically synonyms.
