a) What is a transistor? Give two functions of a transistor
(2)
b) What are the charge carriers in P-type and N-type semiconductors
(2)
c) Describe the difference between P-type and N-type semiconductors materials (4)
d) For a CEtransistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector resistance of
2.0kW is 2.0V. suppose the current amplification factor of the transistor is 100, what
should be the value of R8 in series with V88 supply of 2.0V if the de base current must
be 10 times the signal current. Also calculate the de drop across the collector
resistance. Assume VEE= 0.6V
