The correct Answer is:
To solve the question regarding the assertion and reason about transistors, we can break it down into clear steps: ### Step 1: Understand the Assertion The assertion states that "A transistor can be used as an amplifier." - **Explanation**: This is true. Transistors are widely used in electronic circuits as amplifiers. They can take a small input signal and produce a larger output signal, which is the fundamental operation of an amplifier. ### Step 2: Understand the Reason The reason states that "A small change in input current can change output on a large scale." - **Explanation**: This statement is also true. In a transistor, a small change in the input current (or voltage) can lead to a significant change in the output current. This property is what allows transistors to amplify signals. ### Step 3: Analyze the Relationship Now we need to determine if the reason correctly explains the assertion. - **Explanation**: The reason provided explains how transistors amplify signals. The ability of a transistor to produce a large output from a small input is indeed the principle behind its use as an amplifier. Therefore, the reason supports the assertion. ### Step 4: Conclusion Based on the analysis: - Both the assertion and the reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ### Final Answer - **Assertion**: True - **Reason**: True - **Conclusion**: Both assertion and reason are correct, and the reason is a correct explanation of the assertion. ---
