What are they?? What do they do??

I asked my phys teacher and he kept on rambling on about its uses and crap and not getting to the point :mad1:

You dont have a textbook or access to google.com? quite simply they amplify a current

It is bascially a semiconductor of one type (say P) sandwiched between two semiconductor of the other type (say N).. Transistor allows the use of small current from one circuit to control a large current in another circuit. Effectively act as switch or amplifier.

 

[krap]

is a triode an amplifyer also?

 

[Constip8edSkunk]

yes... in 1 of the pts , you need to talk about how transistors replaced triodes in performing those functions

 

[krap]

thanks skunk
