    The minimum potential difference between the base and emitter required to switch a silicon transistor 'ON' is approximately

    A) 1 V                              

    B) 3 V

    C) 5 V                              

    D) 4.2 V

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    To switch on the transistor, the emitter-base junction of a transistor is forward biased while collector-base junction is reverse biased. The cut-off voltage for silicon is \[\tilde{\ }1\text{ }V\], so to switch on a silicon transistor a potential difference of 1 V approximately is required between the base and emitter.
