MCQs on Junction Transistor for NEET 2023

A bipolar junction transistor is a semiconductor device with three terminals and two p-n junctions. The three terminals are named as the base, emitter and collector. The small-amplitude signal applied at the base is amplified at the collector. The Bipolar Junction transistor is of two types, NPN transistor and PNP transistor, based on the doping types of the three terminals.
