A transistor consisting of two p-n junctions combined to form either an n-p-n or a p-n-p transistor, having the three electrodes, the emitter, base, and collector
The current Ig through a galvanometer of resistance G is 0.02 I where I is the main current.
The shunt resistance S is calculated as follows.





A transistor is an electronic component that can be used as an amplifier, or as a switch. It is made of semiconductor material. Transistors are found in most electronic devices. 
A transistor has three connectors or terminals. In the older bipolar transistor they are the collector, the emitter, and the base. The flow of charge goes in the collector, and out of the emitter, depending on the charge flowing to the base
