Question
question 7 of 20 : select the best answer for the question. 7. which of the following does not accurately describe transistors? a. both npn and pnp transistors consist of an emitter, base, and collector. b. both npn and pnp transistors consist of a base composed of an n-type material. c. both npn and pnp transistors consist of p-type and n-type material. d. both npn and pnp transistors operate in the same manner but with interchanged terminals and opposite directions of voltage and current. mark for review (will be highlighted on the review page) << previous question next question >>
- Option A: Both NPN (N - base - P - base - N) and PNP (P - base - N - base - P) transistors have emitter, base, collector. Correct.
- Option B: In NPN, base is P - type; in PNP, base is N - type. So saying both have base as N - type is wrong.
- Option C: NPN has N - P - N (two N - type, one P - type), PNP has P - N - P (two P - type, one N - type), so both have P and N - type material. Correct.
- Option D: NPN and PNP operate similarly with terminals (emitter, base, collector) interchanged and voltage/current directions opposite. Correct.
