What do you understand by the term ‘Transistors’?

Transistors are electronic switches that may or may not allow the flow of current in a current path.

- When it allows current to flow, the switch is ON. This represents 1 bit.

- When it does not allow current to flow, the switch is OFF. This represents 0 bit.

- Transistors are placed into chips also known as IC. They measure in mm`s and are known contain millions of transistors.

- Microprocessors these days are created using microns as their measuring size.
