To indicate direction of flow of the substance being carried and distributed by that emitter. For example, Plumbing parts often indicate direction of flow of the water or gas so that the parts function properly.

If the arrow points towards the base, the transistor is PNP. If it points away from the base, the transistor is NPN.

Why ujt have this type of symbols?

The symbols in the unijunction transistor show its internal configuration. The emitter (arrow) represents the polarity. When it points in that is a P type transistor. Pointing out is an N type. The the table on its side the table top touching the emitter (arrow). Its' "legs" are the connection to two bases in the device. It does not have a collector. Refer to another Wiki answer for more info.

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.


Why base in grounded in common emitter transistor as amplifier?

With a common emitter amplifier it's the emitter that is usually grounded.


What is emitter follower?

A: When a signal is not amplified but simply taken from an emitter the reason is that the emitter will provide better current capabilities


What is an ir emitter?

Depending on context, it could be an infra-red emitter. An emitter that emits at a wavelength longer than that of visible red. infra red emitter is a special pn juction device in which emitter region emits infrared rays


What is the arrow to the left of north on a compass?

The symbol that shows direction with an arrow towards North with the letter 'N' (for North) is called a north arrow. It is mostly shown in a cruciform (in the form of a cross)


What is the difference between a CB amplifier and CE and emitter-follower?

I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.
