The element that has the biggest size in a transistor is____________?

Correct answer: A. collector

  • A. collector
  • B. base
  • C. emitter
  • D. collector-base-junction

Explanation

The collector is made largest because it must dissipate the transistor's heat and withstand a relatively high reverse-bias voltage. The base is deliberately very thin and small, while the emitter is moderately sized.
