Assertion: A transistor is a voltage-operating device.
Reason: Base current is greater than the collector current.

A

If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion.

B

If both the assertion and reason are true but the reason is not true the correct explantion of the assertion.

C

If the assertion is true but reason false

D

If both the assertion and reason are false.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
A transistor is a current operating device because the action of transistor is conctrolled by the charge carriers (electrons or holes). Base current is very much lesser than the collector current.
