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.

A transistor is in active region when?
a transistor in active region when emitter junction is forward biased nd collector junction is 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.
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 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 the most probable junction in transistor maintenance circuits and is it base or base and collector or emitter and collector?
Most probable junction in transister is base emiter
What is transistor action?
The transistor has three regions, emitter,base and collector. The base is much thinner than the emitter while the collector is wider than both. However for the sake of convenience the emitter and collector are usually shown to be of equal size. The transistor has two pn junctions that means it is like two diodes. The junction between emitter and base may be called emitter-base diode or simply the emitter diode.The junction between base and collector may be called collector-base diode or simply collector diode. The emitter diode is always forward biased and the collector diode is always reverse biased.

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
Why a transistor can be operated in active region?
a transistor can only work in active region cox in active region collector base junction is in reverse bias and emitter base junction is in forward bias.
What is PNP?
it is a bipolar junction transistor having p-type emitter & collector terminal and , n-type base terminal .
What happens when emitter and collector of a transistor are short?
The transistor acts like a normal pn diode. in NPN transistor the both n i.e.,collector and emitter ane shorted then they become a n and other is p so pn diode is formed. When the emitter and the collector of a transistor are short, the emitter current =the collector current.
What are the parts of a transistor?
The emitter, the base, and the collector are parts of a transistor.
