Detailed explanation-1: -A transistor computer, now often called a second-generation computer, is a computer which uses discrete transistors instead of vacuum tubes.
Detailed explanation-2: -Second generation (1956-1963) Transistors were widely used in computers from 1956 to 1963. Transistors were smaller than vacuum tubes and allowed computers to be smaller in size, faster in speed, and cheaper to build. The first computer to use transistors was the TX-0 and was introduced in 1956.
Detailed explanation-3: -Main electronic component – transistor. Memory – magnetic core and magnetic tape / disk. Programming language – assembly language. Power and size – low power consumption, generated less heat, and smaller in size (in comparison with the first generation computers). More items
