A; The base must be positive with respect to the emitter this condition will allow collector current to flow from collector to emitter. If the transistor manage to get saturated the current can flow in both direction. as a switch

How is the NPN transistor different from the PNP transistor?

"P" is for Positive and "N" is for Negative So basically put a PNP Transistor Would use N to Switch P, in the name "PNP" or "NPN" the first character is for the polarity of the Collector-pin, the second for the Base-Pin, and the third for the Emmiter-pin. So if you have a PNP Transistor you can`t just replace it with an NPN as the polarities differ. If you can find a way to change those polarities then sure it could work. The Collector-pin basically receives the bigger current. The Base-pin determines how much of that current will be transferred to the emmiter-pin. So in a PNP the base current could for example be 0V and the Collector 5V, this will allow a free flow of current from Collector to Emmiter, the usage of a transistor in many cases is to switch high current with lower current. The main difference is that a PNP transistor uses "holes" as carriers and an NPN transistor uses electrons as carriers (It is to be remembered that the flow of current is always in the direction opposite to that of the flow of electrons). The difference in the symbol for the two transistors are that the PNP transistor will have an arrow pointed to the base from the emitter, and the NPN has it pointing outside.


Why npn transistor are more using than pnp transistor. Give two reasons?

1. NPN transistors current conductin is by electrons and conventional current flow will be in the opposite direction. 2. Majority charge carriers are electrons whose mobility is almost double than that of holes.

Why doesn't current flow through your body when we stand on wood?

For electricity or current to flow through your body, you should be connected to earth. Wood is an insulator, and so when you stand on wood, current cannot flow through your body to earth.

Is there actually current flowing through the return wire?

Yes, there is a current flow through he return wire in a closed circuit. The only time there is no current flow through the return wire is when the circuit is open.
