1. What is Transistor
2. The three terminals drawn from the transistor indicate Emitter, Base and Collector terminals.
3. They have their functionality as discussed below.
4. What is an AND Gate?
1. A transistor is a semiconductor device that can amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power. It consists of three layers of semiconductor material, and its basic function is to control the flow of electric current between two terminals by varying the current or voltage applied to a third terminal.
2. Yes, in a typical bipolar junction transistor (BJT), the three terminals are referred to as the emitter, base, and collector.
3. The emitter terminal is responsible for allowing the flow of majority charge carriers (electrons or holes) from the transistor to the external circuit. The base terminal controls the amount of current flowing through the transistor by modulating the current between the emitter and the base. The collector terminal collects the majority charge carriers that have passed through the base and allows them to flow to the external circuit or power supply.
4. An AND gate is a fundamental logic gate in digital electronics. It takes two binary inputs (0 or 1) and gives an output of 1 only if both inputs are 1; otherwise, it gives an output of 0. In other words, the AND gate produces a high output (1) if and only if all its inputs (both in the case of a two-input AND gate) are high. It is commonly represented by the symbol "&" or by the logical expression: output = input1 AND input2.
