Given below are two statements : One is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R.
Assertion A : n-p-n transistor permits more current than a p-n-p transistor.
Reason R : Electrons have greater mobility as a charge carrier.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below :
Solution
<p>(A) is true as n-p-n transistor permits more current than p-n-p transistor as electrons which are majority charge carriers in n-p-n have higher mobility than holes which are majority carriers in p-n-p transistor.</p>
<p>$\Rightarrow$ Statement R is correct explanation of statement A.</p>
