Question 495Electricity & Electronics - Assistant Engineer
70% to passWhich of the following statements correctly applies to bipolar junction transistors?
The correct answer is B) The three terminals are called the emitter, base, and collector. This is correct because the bipolar junction transistor has three terminals - the emitter, base, and collector. The emitter injects charge carriers into the base region, the base controls the flow of charge carriers, and the collector collects the charge carriers that flow from the emitter. This three-terminal structure is the defining characteristic of a bipolar junction transistor. The other options are incorrect: A) is incorrect because the emitter does not separate the base and collector, C) is incorrect because the collector does not separate the emitter and base, and D) is incorrect because LED and LCD are not types of transistors, they are different electronic components.
