Lorsqu'un transistor bipolaire est utilisé comme interrupteur, quelle électrode commande son état?

  1. APorte
  2. BBase
  3. CÉmetteur
  4. DCollecteur

Correct answer: B — Base. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

In a bipolar transistor, the Base acts as the control valve; a small current entering this terminal allows a much larger current to flow between the other two terminals, effectively turning the device on or off like a switch. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
