What is the advantage of using solid-state devices in electronic control systems?
The advantage of electronic control systems using solid state devices.
Explanation of Solution
The term "solid state" and "semi-conductor" refers to the same electronic component; and signifies the different properties of electronic component. The term "solid state" indicates the physical description of component and the term "semi-conductor" refers to the electrical conductivity of component. The advantages of solid-state devices are smaller in size, ruggedness construction, increased life, speed response, and resistance to extreme environmental conditions.
