thanks everyone for your answers.

Well, it's a theoretical question, but if the smallest transistor can stay on for a few hours or indefinitely, I will go forward and have the circuit built.

I am talking about the type of transistor like in the cpu of a computer, the smallest technology is able to produce today, I wanted to design a circuit but I wasn't able to find anything on the internet about how long one could be continuously, on operating at the lowest voltage and current and...

I only need a transistor to turn on another transistor, but at times it maybe turned on and off, at other times it may be left on for hours if possible, I can adjust the load resistor and source voltage to what ever is necessary to make it possible.

I was planning on using a transistor on for periods of hours at a time, or a day at the most, operating at the lowest voltage and current possible, but I haven't been able to find anything on the internet about operating tolerances for npn and pnp transistors.

I see how that can be used to calculate a power unit but how would that translate into real time, eg: ms,s or minutes.

Is there a limit to how long a transistor, like in a cpu, can be constantly on?

I don't know what the difference in function is between an internal vs an external connection, I had just happen to see a schematic for both online, and I haven't been able to find anything to read about one vs the other.

When do you use an internal substrate connection vs an external substrate connection on a depletion mode transistor?

Yes i need to drop the collector voltage to zero, the base current is not important. I've read about npn and pnp transistors and how those work, but if you know of a website that talks about "normally on" switches it would help a lot.

Yes it is going to a subcircuit, I need constant power to it but I need to shut it off regularly, and I only have to cut power to one npn transistor. I'm not sure how much power would go to it, as low as possible for the smallest transistors to operate.

To be more specific, the component will be used in computer processors and random access memory so it can't be mechanical but solid state, and as small as transistors get. I've read about transistors online but I haven't seen one that is "normally on".

"Normally On" switch I'm making a computer component and I have constant power going to a npn transistor, I need a "normally on" switch to cut power to the npn transistor at different times. Anyone know a good website that discusses them.

yes, magnetic monopoles, I was wondering if superconductors might be a type of monopole because of its magnetic properties

can anyone tell me the properties of monopoles?
