Question

A semiconductor device containing transistors, capacitors, and resistors is called a:____. a. difference engine. b. a diode. c. an integrated circuit. d. a radio. e. a transformer.

Answer

an integrated circuit

  • Q: What is a semiconductor device? A: A semiconductor device is a device made up of semiconducting materials that allows the control of the flow of electrons.
  • Q: What are transistors, capacitors, and resistors? A: Transistors are devices used to amplify or switch electronic signals, capacitors are components that store electric charge, and resistors are components that resist the flow of electric current.
  • Q: What is an integrated circuit? A: An integrated circuit is a semiconductor device that contains transistors, capacitors, and resistors, among other components, all integrated onto a single piece of silicon.
