Statement II : In a transistor, collector is the thickest and base is the thinnest segment.
In the light of the above statements, choose the most appropriate answer from the options given below.
Show Hint
- Both Statement I and Statement II are incorrect
- Statement I is correct but Statement II is incorrect
- Both Statement I and Statement II are correct
- Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Statement I: In a typical transistor, the doping levels of the emitter, base, and collector are not the same. The emitter is heavily doped, the base is lightly doped, and the collector is moderately doped. Therefore, Statement I is incorrect.
Statement II: In a transistor, the collector is the thickest because it needs to dissipate heat, and the base is the thinnest to allow efficient current flow. Therefore, Statement II is correct.
Thus, the correct answer is: Statement I is incorrect but Statement II is correct.
