Choose the correct statement
A
A transistor will remain on as long the the base current is applied
B
A transistor remains on after a high to low pulse is applied at the base
C
A transistor will remain on as long the the collector current is applied
D
A transistor remains on after a high to low pulse is applied at the collector
Correct Answer: A transistor will remain on as long the the base current is applied
Unlike the thyristor devices, all the transistor family devices remain in the conducting state as long as the firing pulses are applied. This is a very important property of the transistor devices.
