How Transistors Work ?

***
What is a transistor?
A transistor is a type of semiconductor device that can be used to conduct and insulate electric current or voltage. A transistor basically acts as a switch and an amplifier. In simple words, we can say that a transistor is a miniature device that is used to control or regulate the flow of electronic signals
Transistors are one of the key components in most of the electronic devices that are present today.
Developed in the year 1947 by three American physicists, John Bardeen, Walter Brattain and William Shockley, the transistor is considered one of the most important inventions in the history of science.
They are listed below:
* Base: This is used to activate the transistor.
* Collector: It is the positive lead of the transistor.
* Emitter: It is the negative lead of the transistor
There are many types of transistors in use. Each transistor is specialized in its application. The main classification is as follows,
Transistor ।------BJT------NPN
। ------PNP
।
।
।-----FET------JFET
------MOSFET
