Experiment: 4.3 Understanding Transistor

The document defines a transistor as a three terminal device with an emitter, collector, and base separated by two p-n junctions. It describes n-p-n and p-n-p type transistors, noting that n-p-n transistors supply charge carriers from the emitter to the collector, while the base controls this flow, and p-n-p transistors operate in the reverse manner. Common uses of transistors include as current amplifiers, automatic switches, and in devices responding to heat or light.
