E) a transformer.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

An integrated circuit (IC) is a semiconductor device that contains transistors, capacitors, and resistors, along with other components, all fabricated on a single piece of semiconductor material. This allows for compact and efficient circuit design, as well as the ability to incorporate multiple functions into a single device. While a computer or radio may contain integrated circuits, they are not specific terms for the device described. A diode is a simpler semiconductor device that only contains a junction between two materials and does not include the other components described. A transformer is an electrical component made up of coils of wire and is not directly related to a semiconductor device.
