I just confirmed this yesterday with my local librarian, because my son's teacher is insisting that he fail his Mystery Book Report because he didn't complete it on a mystery book. 20 people found this useful.
A transistor is a miniature electronic component that can do two different jobs. It can work either as an amplifier or a switch: 1  When it works as an amplifier, it takes in a tiny electric current at one end (an input current) and produces a much bigger electric current (an output current) at the other.2  Transistors can also work as switches.ormally, the holes in the base act like a barrier, preventing any significant current flow from the emitter to the collector while the transistor is in its off state. A transistor works when the electrons and the holes start moving across the two junctions between the n-type and p-type silicon.
How does a transistor work? Our lives depend on this device.

Yes! That's exactly what I mean, but it goes so much deeper than that. After the transistor was invented in 1947 one of the first available consumer technologies it was applied to was radios, so they could be made portable and higher quality.
