ASSIGNMENT 2 Transistors in Switch and Amplifier Configurations Introduction: Transistors are electronic devices usually used as amplifiers or oscillators in communications and computer systems. They consist of a tiny piece of semiconducting material, usually silicon or germanium, to which three or more electrical connections are made. The basic components of the transistor are similar to those of a triode vacuum tube and include an emitter, which corresponds to the heated cathode of the triode tube as the source of electrons. The transistor was developed by American physicists John Bardeen, Walter Houser Brattain and William Bradford Shockley. This assignment requires us to carry out a number of tasks. For the first stage of the assignment, I will be performing four tests relating to the BC147 transistor to determine its characteristics. Graphs will be plotted with the results gained from this. Then I will carry out an experiment relating to a transistor switch circuit,...
