Suppose that you have a FM receiver which grabs the signal you
want. The received signal will obviously be weak due to the
disturbances it would face during its journey. Now if this signal is read
as it is, you cannot get a fair output. Hence we need to amplify the
signal. Amplification means increasing the signal strength.

The three terminals drawn from the transistor indicate Emitter, Base
and Collector terminals. They have their functionality as discussed
below.
Emitter
The left hand side of the above shown structure can be understood
as Emitter.
This has a moderate size and is heavily doped as its main function
is to supply a number of majority carriers, i.e. either electrons or
holes.
Base

Its main function is to pass the majority carriers from the emitter to
the collector.
Collector

Advantages
There are few disadvantages such as they cannot be used for high
power applications due to lower power dissipation. They have lower
input impedance and they are temperature dependent.
