A transistor behaves as a linear device for _____________?

Correct answer: A. Small signals only

  • A. Small signals only
  • B. Large signals only
  • C. Both small and large signals
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

A transistor can be linearized around its bias point only for small signal variations. Large signals move the device over a wider nonlinear characteristic and invalidate the simple linear model.
