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

Answer»

`1V`
`3V`
`5V`
`4.2V`

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 `~1 V`, so the SWITH on a silicon transistor a potential difference of `1V` approximately is required between the base of emitter.
