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.

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
When transistors are used in digital circuits they usually operate in what region?
active region
What do you call the vacuum tubes used in transistor radios?
You don't, there aren't any. However some radios in the early 1950s did use both vacuum tubes and transistors. This was because early junction transistors were too slow to operate at RF so vacuum tubes were used in the RF and IF sections. These radios were called hybrid radios because they used both vacuum tubes and transistors.
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 are the applications of clap switch?
it acts as a direct switch by usingg a battery. it is also used in transistors
