There are three operating regions in transistor...(Transfer-Resistor)
1)cutoff region
2)Active region
3)Saturation region
Active region:
- It is the central region where there are curves and where slope is taken.
- it is the region where emitter-base is forward biased and collector-base is reversed bias.
Cutoff region:
- It is the region which lies below the curves. it is the region where the transistor is in OFF state.
- in this region both emitter-base and collector-base is reversed bias(i.e no sufficient voltage is applied so that the voltage does not break the DEPLETION region).
Saturation region:
- It is the region situated to near the active region near Y-axis.
- It is the region in which the both emitter-base and collector-base is forward biased.
Based on application the transistor is decided where to lie.
for example transistors are made to lie in active region to make it as amplifier.
when transistors are used as switch it is made to lie in saturation region(when switch is made as ON) and cut-off region(when switch is made as OFF).....
Thanks guys for reading this. please forgive me if there are any mistakes....
ANSWER: In actuality there is only one REGION The other regions are not operating regions but rather states. An operating region on a transistor is set up during design of an amplifier to transfer maximum undirstorted power to the load. This design is called BIAS

What is the significance of Q point?
Q point is also called operating point.Q point is mainly adjusted in transistors to make it stable. i.e., to operate the transistor in safe mode. Depending up on the operating current and voltage Q point is adjusted. The Q point defines the operating condition of the transistor and the transistors which quiescent point is adjusted are denoted as Q1,Q2.........Qn
Does a refrigerator have transistors?
A fridge may or may not have a few transistors in it, these are electrical components that would probably be part of the control circuitry. Transistors used to be very common components of most electrical appliances. The cooling process of the fridge has nothing to do with transistors and is handled by a compressor and a heat exchange pump
How many transistors are in an AND gate?

How many transistors are used in static ram?
I am not to sure about Static Ram but in CMOS RAM, 1GB of RAM would contain about 137438953472 transistors because 1 bit of CMOS RAM contains 16 Transistors, 8 bits in a byte and 1073741824 bytes in a gigabyte. I am 100% sure about this and these are just estimations. Static RAM uses about 6 times as many transistors as dynamic RAM for the same amount of storage. Dynamic RAM uses 1 or 2 transistors per bit in typical implementations. Add to this transistors for address decode, bus interface, etc.
What were used before transistors?
If the integrated circuit in some kind of device has 5,000 transistors on it, then before integrated circuits were available, the same function might have been performed by 100 individual transistors. And before transistors were available, the same function might have been performed by 30 vacuum tubes, a fan and air system to keep them cool, and a large power system to operate the tubes and the cooler.
