It's a tiny device made of silicon that you feed electrical current into and then it can either spew current out the other side or not. <BR/><BR/>This is important to electronics because everything these days is digital. It's all based on ones and zeroes. The transistor is the device that takes in something analog (electrical current) and then converts it into something digital (zero current or some current).<BR/><BR/>You get enough of these switches on a circuit and you can build logic out of it.Mikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02233465085998331063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-179218854791150253.post-55267326629045391822008-04-03T22:40:00.000-07:002008-04-03T22:40:00.000-07:00roast dandelioncold morning warm earthy brewwasabi...roast dandelion<BR/>cold morning warm earthy brew<BR/>wasabi miss you<BR/><BR/>Sk8.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
