Question
**Question 6:** What are nMOS and pMOS transistors? Why is a positive voltage applied at the gate of the nMOS transistor while a negative voltage is applied at the gate of a pMOS transistor to make it work? --- This question explores the fundamental differences between nMOS (n-type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) and pMOS (p-type Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor) transistors, focusing on their operation principles. nMOS transistors are turned on when a positive voltage is applied to the gate, allowing electrons to flow and create a conducting path between the source and drain. In contrast, pMOS transistors require a negative voltage at the gate to allow hole flow, initiating current flow from source to drain. Understanding these differences is crucial for designing and operating integrated circuits effectively.
