Resistors do a lot of Useful Things!

/\_TOP_/\  Voltage to Current Convertor   When driving the input (base) of a transistor gain stage: you must convert the input voltage to a  current by using a voltage to current convertor  --a resistor.  Current to Voltage Convertor When deriving a voltage from the collector of a transistor amplifier stage: you convert the output (collector) current into a voltage by using a Current to Voltage convertor in the collector circuit--you  guessed it--a resistor.   /\_TOP_/\
