Which region of the transistor is most wide in terms of area?

Correct answer: C. Collector

  • A. Emitter
  • B. Base
  • C. Collector
  • D. All have equal area

Explanation

Correct answer: Collector (Option c): The collector region of a transistor is the most wide in terms of area. The collector is the region that collects the majority charge carriers coming from the base and allows them to flow to the external circuit. It is designed to have a larger area to enhance the current-carrying capability of the transistor.

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.
