Flashcards
Who invented the transistor?
Who invented the transistor?
The invention of the transistor, a crucial component in modern electronics, is attributed to the scientists J. Bardeen and W.H. Brattain.
What are the two main transistor types?
What are the two main transistor types?
Transistors are categorized based on the arrangement of their semiconductor layers. The two primary types are npn and pnp transistors, named based on the arrangement of the layers.
What junctions are present in a transistor?
What junctions are present in a transistor?
The base region of a transistor forms two junctions with the other regions - the emitter and the collector. These junctions are critical for controlling the flow of current within the transistor.
