What is the role of a semiconductor in a transistor?
Correct Answer: Semiconductor amplifies current in a transistor.
- Step 1: Understand what a transistor is. A transistor is an electronic device that can control the flow of electricity.
- Step 2: Learn about semiconductors. A semiconductor is a material that can conduct electricity under certain conditions, but not others.
- Step 3: Know that transistors are made from semiconductor materials, like silicon.
- Step 4: Realize that in a transistor, the semiconductor allows small electrical signals to control larger electrical signals.
- Step 5: Understand that this means a small input signal can turn on or off a larger output signal, which is how transistors amplify current.
