Transistor

At the end of this activity, students should be able to:
– explain the operation and application of a transistor
– describe the ways in which a transistor may be open or closed
– use the concept of a voltage divider to explain how to control the opening and closing of a transistor
– give examples of a transistor switch and provide a short description of its operation
– describe the amplifying property of a transistor and give examples of the application of this feature.
