Q79 / 90 · JEE Main 2022 (27 Jun Shift 2) · Physics

For a transistor to act as a switch, it must be operated in

A
Active region
Correct answer
B
Saturation and cut-off region
C
Cutoff region only
D
Saturated region only

Solution

The saturation zone and cut-off area are known as the transistor switch’s working regions. This implies that, by switching between its “top-off” (saturation) and “absolute OFF,” the transistor is used as a switch.

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'B'.
