Only because the circuit that its embeded in is designed that way.
Remember, a transistor is basicly an amplifier ...
only if you design everything to go to the extreams will it act as a switch.

What are the importance of transistor?
A transistor is a semiconductor(like many) that amplifies and switches electrical signals(electronic switch) in a circuit, it is used inside a circuit which requires switching without been manually operated.
What the difference between Transistor and resistor?
The difference between a Transistor and a Resistor is that a transistor is designed to amplify the electrical current, whereas a Resistor is designed to reduce the electrical current.
How did the word transistor originate?
transient varistor
How does a bimetallic strip act as a switch?
It acts as a switch in thermostats because it starts curved and when it cools down enough for it to straighten up it touches another piece of metal, completing a circuit before bending again due to the heat. Hope this helped!
What did William B Shockley invent?
He co-invented the transistor
What is the purpose of the Unijunction Transistor?
A Unijunction Transistor is a transistor that acts solely as a switch.
Does a transistor in cut-off region acts as an open switch?
No
When operated in cut off and saturation mode the transistor acts like what?
switch
What is transistor as a switch?
transistor is a nonlinear device. it will acts as a swicth based on the cut in voltage we can easily identifying the the transistor is in forward or reverse bias.in forward it is 'on' reverse bias 'off'.
Is a transistor a small electronic switch?
A transistor is used to switch electronic signals.
What is transistor BC557?
it is a transistor used in IR TOGGLE SWITCH. :-)
Why a transistor is used as a amplifier and switch?
transistor has 2 output 1 and 0 so can be used as a switch
How transistor acts as a amplifier?
A transistor does not act as an amplifier. It is used as a component in an amplifier circuit.
How does a transistor electronically switch the output on?
A transistor can electronically switch the output by controlling the flow of current between its two terminals, called the collector and emitter. It has a third terminal, called the base, which acts as a control input. When a small current is applied to the base terminal, it influences the flow of current between the collector and emitter terminals, effectively turning the transistor "on" or "off" and allowing it to change the output state.
What is Transit time in transistor or diode?
A transistor is a switch. A diode directs the flow of current.
What electronic component is a gate or switch for electrical signals?
Transistor or vacuum tube.
How transistor act as a switch?
A: When a transistor is saturated current can flow in both direction qualifying it as a switch
