Question

a computer is built up from layers of components, like an integrated circuit, logic gates, and transistors. which of these is the best description of a transistor? choose 1 answer: a it takes input data, processes & stores it, and produces output. b it outputs data by using many logic circuits. c it outputs 0 or 1 based on input values and a boolean function. d it converts an electrical signal into a 0 or 1 based on the amount of voltage going through it.

Explanation:

A transistor is an electronic component that can act as a switch or amplifier. It converts an electrical - signal (usually in the form of voltage) into a binary value (0 or 1) based on the amount of voltage passing through it. Option A describes a more general computer - like operation, option B is too focused on output and logic circuits, and option C describes the function of a logic gate rather than a transistor.

Answer:

D. It converts an electrical signal into a 0 or 1 based on the amount of voltage going through it.
