How should the two transistor junctions be biased for proper transistor amplifier operation?
Emitter-Base junction should be forward biased.Collector-Base junction should be reverse biased.
What is the biasing technique in transistor for it to be in active region?
For a transistor to be in active region : Base Emitter junction should be forward biased and Emitter collector junction should be reverse biased.
A transistor is in active region when?
a transistor in active region when emitter junction is forward biased nd collector junction is reverse biased
How do you know if a transistor is a PNP or an NPN?
To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.
What is a schottky transister?
A very high speed bipolar junction transistor having a metal-semiconductor emitter base junction instead of a semiconductor-semiconductor emitter base junction.
When testing transistors how much minimum voltage difference should be seen across the base-emitter junction?
It depends on the transistor. Minimum base-emitter junction voltage can be as low as 0.6 volts for a silicon transistor, and as low as 0.2 volts for a germanium transistor.
What is emitter biasing?
Emitter biasing is when you add a resistor between the emitter of a transistor and the 0v rail so that any voltage developed across the emitter will subtract from the voltage on the base and effectively turn the transistor OFF. We are talking about an NPN transistor and the transistor is an "ordinary transistor" or BJT (bi-polar Junction Transistor). For more information on transistor biasing see: Talking Electronics website.
What will be the collector current of emitter base junction of a transister is reversed?
The question is poorly phrased and needs a grammatical cleanup. If you mean to ask "what happens to the collector-emitter current of a transistor when the emitter-base junction is reverse biased" then the answer is that the transistor will turn off, and you will only see leakage current.
What is swamp resistor?
Resistor placed in the emitter lead of a transistor circuit to minimize the effects of temperature on the emitter-base junction resistance.
What bias conditions must be present for the normal operation of a transistor ampilifier?
Assuming you mean a bipolar junction transistor (BJT): 1. Reverse bias on the collector-base junction. 2. Forward bias on the base-emitter junction, that is 3. Sufficient to give the correct operating point of collector voltage/collector current.
A PNP transistor is connected in a circuit so that the collector-base junction remains reverse biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased This transistor can be used as a power amplifier?
Yes1
What are the bias condition of the base emitter and base collector junction for a transistor to operate as a switch?
In order for a transistor to operate as a switch, the base-emitter current must be greater than the collector-emitter current divided by a factor of hFe. In this state, the transistor operates in saturated mode, fully turning on.
