What is the use of transistor in electronics?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

  1. A transistor<\/strong> is an electronic device which has three terminals labelled as base<\/strong>, collector<\/strong> and emitter<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. It is a solid state electronic device that has many functions such as being a switch, amplifier, voltage stabiliser and signal modulator.<\/li>\n
  3. Transistors are made by joining the n-type semiconductors and p-type semiconductors together.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Transistor Types and Symbols<\/strong><\/h2>\n
      \n
    1. There are two types of transistors, the npn transistor and pnp transistor.<\/li>\n
    2. An npn transistor<\/strong> consists of a tljin layer.of p-type semiconductor sandwiched by two layers of n-type semiconductors. In an npn transistor, both the collector and emitter are n-type semiconductors while the base is a p-type semiconductor.

    3. A pnp transistor<\/strong> consists of a thin layer of n-type semiconductor sandwiched by two layers of p-type semiconductors. In a pnp transistor, both the collector and emitter are p-type semiconductors while the base is an n-type semiconductor.

    5. The arrow in each of the symbol represents the direction of conventional current flow. In the npn transistor, current flows from C to E, whereas in pnp transistor, current flows from E to C.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
