transistor yep you've got a bite let's talk about it do not bicker behind my back let's take this the formal way the argument way what is it that you don't like about my definition of a transistor it is based on the principle of dual resistance tending to infinite and zero and hence behaving as an insulator and a conductor based on its vector alignment in a circuit it is a discrete form of electrical filter circuits it is a filter it allows only unidirectional passage of current vector alignment is the most critical part of this definition a simple copper wire will conduct any way you connect it but a transistor has a direction if you switch it it won't work what the inventor i don't know him and i don't care about him has done here is craftily created a unidirectional resistance which'll work as an insulator or a conductor based on how it is placed in the circuit forward or backward no it is not a simple on off thing it is a special case of discrete resistance from amongst a host of other filters a capacitor can filter as well but it does not do it in discrete amounts garbage i think you need to go home and do some reading and i also note a tinge of hate for indians this is john churchill and i need you soldier i need you tonight we'll discuss more later buh bye kiss you kiss you come here you cute thing
