The first transistor could switch on/off how fast?
A
1, 000 times per second
B
10, 000 times per second
C
1, 000 times per minute
D
10, 000 times per minute
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The technique used to quickly switch off a transistor is by reverse biasing its base to collector junction. It is demonstrated in a high voltage switching circuit.

Detailed explanation-2: -A look at Moore’s Law in action This was, literally, production on an astronomical scale. Every second of that year, on average, 8 trillion transistors were produced. That figure is about 25 times the number of stars in the Milky Way and some 75 times the number of galaxies in the known universe.
