Q

What are the three terminals of a bipolar transistor?

🔍 Key Concepts

• Bipolar transistor (BJT) structure and function • Difference between BJT and vacuum tube terminals • Difference between BJT and field-effect transistor (FET) terminals

💭 Think About

• Think about what the letters in common transistor types (like NPN or PNP) represent and how current flows through the device. • Recall which terminal of this device controls the current between the other two terminals. • Eliminate any choices that clearly belong to vacuum tubes or FETs rather than BJTs.

✅ Before You Answer

• Identify which option names the three terminals of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) specifically. • Confirm that none of the chosen terminals are unique to vacuum tubes (like plate or grid) or FETs (like gate or source). • Make sure the three terminals you pick include the one that controls the transistor and the two between which the main current flows.
