MCQ
The most commonly used material for making transistor is
  • A
    Copper
  • Silicon
  • C
    Ebonite
  • D
    Silver

Answer

Correct option: B.
Silicon
b
Most transistors are made from very pure silicon, and some from germanium, but certain other semiconductor materials are sometimes used. A transistor may have only one kind of charge carrier, in a field-effect transistor, or may have two kinds of charge carriers in bipolar junction transistor devices.
