Transistor is a three terminal electronic component that is used to amplify the electric signal as well as used as a switch. Real view of transistors: Symbol of transistor: E = emitter B= base C= collector Terminal identification of transistor: It depends on value and type of transistor. NOTE: It's also made of semiconductor materials. There are many type of transistor . It's use as a switch. It's use as a amplifier.
