A transistor amplifier has high output impedance because ______________?

Correct answer: B. Collector has reverse bias

  • A. Emitter is heavily doped
  • B. Collector has reverse bias
  • C. Collector is wider than emitter or base
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The reverse-biased collector-base junction gives the transistor a high resistance at its output, producing high output impedance in amplifier operation. Emitter doping and collector width are construction details, not the main direct reason stated here.
