Which of the following components can consist of three regions of semiconductor material?

B
Answer
Electronic components and circuits
Type
A
Alternator
B
Transistor
C
Triode
D
Pentagrid converter

Answer Notes

A transistor, specifically a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), consists of three alternating regions of doped semiconductor material. These regions are arranged as either N-P-N or P-N-P, representing the emitter, base, and collector terminals. The other options do not use semiconductor material in this way. A triode and a pentagrid converter are types of vacuum tubes, which rely on metal electrodes in a glass vacuum chamber rather than solid-state semiconductor junctions. An alternator is an electromechanical generator used to produce alternating current.
