Transistors — Quiz

Question 1 • Physics

What can a transistor do in order to fulfill its function in a circuit? Choose three correct answers.

Answer
A
change the dopants in the transistor
B
control its own semiconductance
C
control which layer is the emitter
D
act like an insulator
E
act like a conductor

Explanation

A transistor uses an input signal to control how easily current flows through it, so it can control its semiconductance. In a circuit, it can then act like a conductor when current is allowed through and like an insulator when current is blocked. Changing the dopants or deciding which layer is the emitter is not what a transistor does during normal operation.
