   • BJT
   • MOSFET
   • Both

   Hint

   Recall how each device operates.

4. 4.

   True or False: BJTs have higher input impedance than MOSFETs.

   • True
   • False

   Hint

   Think about the characteristics of each device.

5. 5.

   Given a circuit requiring high-speed switching and low power consumption, which transistor would be more suitable, and why?

   Hint

   Consider the characteristics that align with the circuit's requirements.

6. 6.

   In a scenario where thermodynamics is critical, how would BJTs' thermal characteristics affect circuit design?

   Hint

   Think about how temperature impacts performance.
