Question 4 • Physics

Which statement is true for both types of transistors?

Answer
A
Current flows from the base to the emitter.
B
The base is between the collector and the emitter.
C
The base is a p-type semiconductor.
D
Current flows from the collector to the emitter.

Explanation

In both NPN and PNP bipolar transistors, the base is the thin middle region between the emitter and collector. The semiconductor type of the base differs between the two kinds, and conventional current flows in opposite directions through them, so the other statements are not true for both.
