Question

How are transistors named?

Answer 1

Transistor:

1. A transistor is an electronic device that is made of semiconductor materials and is used to amplify or electronic signals.
2. Transistors are mainly classified into two types as Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) and Field Effect Transistors (FET).
3. The BJTs are furthermore classified into NPN and PNP transistors.
4. The two types of BJTs are symbolically represented as follows:
   
5. The Field-Effect Transistors (FET) is classified into P-Channel and N-Channel FETs and the two types of FETs are represented as follows:
