The video tutorial explains how a transistor can be used as a switch, detailing its operation in saturation and cut-off modes. In saturation mode, the transistor allows high current flow, acting as an 'on' switch, while in cut-off mode, it blocks current, acting as an 'off' switch. The tutorial also covers the application of transistors as inverters or NOT gates, demonstrating their versatility in electronic circuits.
