Question

Which of the following is an advantage of a conventional circuit over integrated circuit?

• A. They are fast.
• B. They have higher power handling capability.
• C. They are large in size.
• D. All of the above.

Answer 1

The correct option is B They have higher power handling capability.

Integrated circuits are electronic circuits formed on a small piece of semiconducting material, which perform the same function as a larger circuit made from discrete components. They are compact, and cheap and fast and more efficient than conventional circuits, and hence they are preferred over them. However conventional circuits still have the advantage of high power handling capacity over the ICs.
