If a low-level signal is placed at the input to a transistor and a higher level of the signal is produced at the output, what is this effect called?

  1. ADetection
  2. BModulation
  3. CRectification
  4. DAmplification

Correct answer: D — Amplification. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

Amplification is the process where a transistor takes a weak input signal and produces a stronger version of it at the output, effectively increasing its power or voltage. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
