Given below are two statements: One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A: n-p-n transistor permits more current than a p-n-p transistor.
Reason R: Electrons have greater mobility as a charge carrier.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Assertion A: n-p-n transistor permits more current than a p-n-p transistor.
Reason R: Electrons have greater mobility as a charge carrier.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
- (A)Both A and R true, and R is correct explanation of A.✓ Correct
- (B)Both A and R are true but R is NOT the correct explanation of A.
- (C)A is true but R is false.
- (D)A is false but R is true.
Answer: (A)
Solution
Both the assertion and reason are true. n-p-n transistors do permit more current than p-n-p transistors because electrons (the majority carriers in n-p-n) have higher mobility than holes (the majority carriers in p-n-p). The reason correctly explains the assertion. The answer is (A).
