Junction Transistor
A n-p-n transistor conducts when
Show answer and solution
Answer: (b)
- For conduction (active mode) the E-B junction is forward biased: n emitter must be negative relative to the p base.
- The C-B junction is reverse biased: n collector must be positive relative to the base.
- So the answer is (b) collector positive and emitter negative with respect to the base.
