AIIMS 2004 Physics Transistors Assertion Reason Question

Type: Assertion Reason-assertion-Medium-Class 12

Assertion : In a transistor the base is made thin.

Reason : A thin base makes the transistor stable.

A

If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion

B

If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion

C

If assertion is true but reason is false

D

If both assertion and reason are false

Correct Answer

Option C

Detailed Explanation

The base is lightly doped and very thin, this constructional feature is key of transistor action due to which only few holes (less than 5%) are able to combine with the electron in base region.
