The PNP transistors conducts when there is no signal at base (0V or grounded), when base current is increased the conduction of PNP transistor decreases.

Transistor is an active element because it can amplify the signal applied.


What is hie for a transistor?

hie is input impedance when signal applied at its base.


Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?

Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.

What is common collector bipolar junction?

A circuit in which the input signal is applied to its base and the collector is earthed (grounded) is known as common collector configuration of BJT (BiPolar Junction Transistor)


Is an electronic device that can serve as a gate or switch for an electrical signal?

yes The logic gates AND OR NOT ExOR can be used as gate for electrical signal whether it may D.C value or A.C signal. Both can be processed by a digital circuits . the logic gates are fabricate from cmos transistor. and they perform logical operation on applied signal


Why you add a positive voltage to the ac signal to allow a transistor to amplify ac signal?

It depends on how you bias the transistor. If you ground the emitter, which is very common, you will need to offset the input signal so you can amplify the full voltage swing.
