Which consequence results when electrons fail to achieve resonance?

💡 Explanation

Absent resonance, electron *quantum tunneling* through the gate oxide decreases, thereby diminishing transistor switching speed, because there are fewer charge carriers crossing, therefore slower operation, rather than enhanced conductivity that resonance provides in quantum structures.
