Program Plan Intro

Transistor:

  • A transistor is a device which behaves either as a wire or a resistor depending upon the voltage level of the input signal.
    • If a transistor plays the role of a wire, it conducts electricity.
    • If a transistor plays the role of a resistor, it blocks the flow of electricity.
  • A transistor is made up of a semiconductor material such as silicon.
  • A transistor consists of no moving parts; but can act as a switch.
  • A semiconductor material is neither a good conductor of electricity nor a good insulator.
