Q1 : "Vacuum tube" represents the vacuum pumping inside the glass bottle to facilitate the
flow of free electrons and effectively reduce the oxidation loss of the filament. Transistor is a
solid-state semiconductor device, which can be used for detection, rectification, amplification,
switching, voltage stabilization, signal modulation and many other functions. As a kind of
variable switch, transistor controls the current flowing out based on the input voltage.
Therefore, transistor can be used as a current switch. Different from general mechanical switch,
transistor is controlled by electrical signal, and the switching speed can be very fast.
examples of semiconductor materials: Diode, transistor, thyristor
Q4:
