Depending on how the transistor is biased and various other circuits connected to it, a transistor acts as an amplifier and/or switch.
When acting as an amplifier the circuit containing the transistor can do things like transmit or receive radio signals, perform analog mathematical calculations, generate waveforms, etc.
When acting as a switch the circuit containing the transistor can do things like turn on/off a light, turn on/off a motor, perform digital logic or mathematical operations, fetch and decode computer instructions, etc.
Exactly what a transistor can do is really only limited by the system requirements and the designer's imagination as to how to meet those requirements.
There are several different types of transistors: bipolar junction transistors (BJTs), field effect transistors (FETs), unijunction transistors (UJTs), programmable unijunction transistors (PUJTs), spacitors, surface barrier transistors (SBTs), tetrode transistors (TTs), point contact transistors (PCTs), etc.
It is basically an electronic "thing" that has three terminals. Lets say E (emitter), B (base) and C(collector). Lets say we connect C to positive of a battery and E to negative (or ground). As long as we keep some current at B , we'll have current flowing from C to E . Basically its some device that controls current on one side from current on another side. the former being larger in magnitude than the later.
ANSWER: Is a semiconductor voltage amplifier
Based on the application, a transistor can be used as a switch or a signal in a circuit.
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
Similar to a 2N3906 PNP transistor
I believe that is resistor transistor technology TTL transistor transistor logic
It depends on the transistor, you just have to look at the data sheet for the transistor.
The BJT is the bipolar junction transistor, the PCT is the point contact transistor, the UJT is the uni-junction transistor, the SBT is the surface barrier transistor, the FET is the field effect transistor, the GJT is the grown-junction transistor, the AJT is the alloy-junction transistor, and the DFT is the drift field-junction transistor.
A silicon transistor is a transistor made of silicon.
The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.

how does a transistor behaviour
Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.

I can give you several sentences.I bought a transistor radio.The transistor amplified the signal.We studied the transistor in science class.
A Darlington pair uses two transistors connected to behave as a single transistor with a very high current gain (beta). Transistor-1 has its collector connected to the collector of transistor-2. Transistor-1 has its emitter connected to the base of transistor-2. The base of transistor-1 with the emitter and collector of transistor-2 is used as a single transistor.
no is not !
the best way is to compeair the data sheet of that transistor to the readings of that transistor. . . . .and u can get the readings of that transistor by using a fungction genrator and a c.r.o
