The term transistor stands for:
Correct answer: A. Transfer of resistance
- A. Transfer of resistance
- B. Transfer of current
- C. Transfer of charge
- D. Transfer of energy
Explanation
The term 'transistor' is derived from the words 'transfer' and 'resistor. ' These words describe the operation of a BJT which is the transfer of an input signal from a low resistance circuit to a high resistance circuit.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
