In a transistor, base is made very thin.Explain.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A transistor consists of two semiconductors separated by a very thin base. This thin base is called depletion layer. It offers resistance to the motion of current carriers depends on the thickness of the base of the transistor.
A thin transistor base will offer less resistance and this gives more current in the circuit.
