A transistor has the same purpose(s) as a triode vacuum tube.
It allowed dramatic miniaturization and efficiency improvements, especially when it was figured out how to make monolithic integrated circuits containing them.

The name comes from Transfer Resistor.
The resistance between the Emitter and collector is controled by applying a small voltage to the base.
In this way a larger current can be controlled by a small current and can form an amplifier.
By either applying no current to the base or maximum (saturation) voltage to the base, it will act as a switch.

What is effect of emitter resistor?
It provide sufficient biasing to the transistor. ANSWER: It purpose is to provide bias and limiting gain.
In a common emitter transistor the primary purpose of a resistor connected to the emitter is to?
The emitter resistor in a common emitter configuration provides negative feedback to the transistor, reducing both its voltage gain and distortion.
What is the purpose of transister?
The correct spelling is transistor. The definition of transistor is a portable radio that uses circuits that contain transistors instead of vacuum tubes. It is a semiconductor device that has three connections.
