In the figure shown, 1 represents the

  • collector of a pnp transistor
  • gate of a junction FET
  • source of a MOSFET
  • Correct Answer
    emitter of a pnp transistor

Correct answer: emitter of a pnp transistor

The symbol shown is a bipolar junction transistor (BJT). The arrow identifies the emitter, and the direction of the arrow indicates the transistor type:

  • an arrow pointing toward the base means a pnp transistor
  • an arrow pointing away from the base means an npn transistor

In the diagram, terminal 1 is the lead with the arrow pointing inward toward the base, so it is the emitter of a pnp transistor.

  • collector of a pnp transistor is incorrect because the collector does not have an arrow.
  • gate of a junction FET is incorrect because this symbol is a BJT, not a FET.
  • source of a MOSFET is also incorrect because MOSFET symbols use a different gate and channel structure.

Therefore, terminal 1 represents the emitter of a pnp transistor.

In the figure shown, 3 represents the

  • source of an n-channel junction FET
  • gate of a p-channel junction FET
  • emitter of a pnp transistor
  • Correct Answer
    drain of an n-channel junction FET

Correct answer: drain of an n-channel junction FET

The symbol shown is a junction FET (JFET). The arrow on the gate points toward the channel, which identifies it as an n-channel JFET.

In standard JFET symbols:

  • the left terminal is the gate
  • the top terminal is the drain
  • the bottom terminal is the source

Since label 3 is connected to the top terminal, it represents the drain of an n-channel JFET.

  • source of an n-channel junction FET is incorrect because the source is the lower terminal in this symbol.
  • gate of a p-channel junction FET is incorrect because the arrow direction indicates an n-channel device, and the gate is the left terminal.
  • emitter of a pnp transistor is incorrect because this symbol is a FET, not a bipolar transistor.

Therefore, terminal 3 is the drain of an n-channel junction FET.
