Why is the base current in transistor very small?
Because a transistor's collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch. A relatively small flow of electrons sent through the base of the transistor has the ability to exert control over a much larger flow of electrons through the collector.
What is the function of the capacitor?
control the flow of current..
How do transistors amplify weak signal?
A transistor controls the flow of current between the emitter and collector. The larger current is supplied by the power supply, across the emitter and collector. The flow is then controlled by a small current applied to the base connection. So, a large current flow mimics the small signal current. Limits are reached, when the transistor gets close to being fully switched on or off. This will cause distortion. To avoid this, more amplification is provided by a series of transistor amplifiers, one after the other.
What is meant by DC motor?
Only a DC motor uses direct current, and the reason is that it is the only supply available. There are also plenty of AC motors used when there is an AC supply. DC tends to be used for low-power devices like fans in electronic equipment.

A: That small coil is micron wire it has resistance. Current trough it makes it to glow
