Transistor

  • A transistor is a semiconductor device for amplifying or switching electric signals and electric power.
  • It is composed of semiconductor material with three terminals for connecting to the external circuit.
  • A transistor can amplify a signal since the controlled or output power is higher than the controlling or input power.

Explanation of Solution

N-type and P-type transistor

  • A P-type transistor is the transistor that transmits when the gate is 0.
  • A N-type transistor is the transistor that transmits when the gate is 1.
  • When gate is supplied with 0, then it is a closed circuit like a wire between the source and the drain.
  • When gate is supplied with 1, then it is open circuit with broken connection.
  • Hence the table is
 N-TypeP-Type
Gate = 1ClosedOpen
Gate = 0OpenClosed
