Which consequence results when electron energy is insufficient?

💡 Explanation

Quantum tunneling enables the transistor to switch even when the applied voltage provides less energy than the barrier height, because electrons can pass through the gate insulator. Therefore the transistor operates, rather than undergoing a shutdown condition from insufficient voltage applying normally.
