In a npn transistor,_____________are the minority carriers?
Correct answer: B. holes
- A. free electrons
- B. holes
- C. donor ions
- D. acceptor ions
Explanation
In an NPN transistor, electrons are the majority carriers because the emitter and collector are n-type, while holes are the minority carriers. Donor and acceptor ions remain fixed in the semiconductor lattice.
