Q. A transistor’s collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of __ switch.

A
Voltage controlled
B
Current controlled
C
Power controlled
D
None of the above
Solution:

The transistor can be used as a switch if biased in the saturation and cut-off regions. This allows current to flow (or not) in other parts of a circuit. Because a transistor’s collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch.
