Marine Electrical Systems USCG Question #888 (Set 30)

Which of the following statements correctly applies to bipolar junction transistors?

Official USCG Answer & Rule Citation

Correct Answer: Option B — The three terminals are called the emitter, base, and collector.

Bipolar junction transistors consist of three alternating doped semiconductor regions forming the emitter, base, and collector terminals. Current flow through the base regulates the much larger current passing between the emitter and collector, complying with standard semiconductor physics principles.
