We know that base input must be more than 0.7Vdc (approx.) in order to turn on TRANSISTOR.Hence by controlling base voltage , it can be used as switch.
A: By forward biasing the transistor to saturation. Then the transistor will conduct both way like a switch will, However it is not a perfect switch it will have a small voltage drop strictly related...
From wikipedia.com: A transistor is a semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals. It is made of a solid piece of semiconductor material, with at least three terminals for...
A transistor doesn't have any mechanical parts to wear out, so it will last longer.
A transistor can switch much faster than a mechanical device, so they can switch all the way from DC up into the...
