When a transistor is used as an amplifier increasing the base current will cause an increase in?
Increasing base current causes a proportionate increase in collector current - proportionate to hFe, unless the transistor is operated outside of linear mode.
In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?
No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.
Why output of common emitter amplifier is inverted?
In a common emitter amplifier, the base-emitter current causes a corresponding collector-emitter current, in the ratio of hFe (beta gain) or collector resistance over emitter resistance, which ever is less. Since this ratio is usually greater than one, the differential collector current is greater than the differential base current. This results in amplification of the base signal. As you increase the base-emitter current, the collector-emitter current also increases. This results in the collector being pulled towards the emitter, with the result that the differential collector voltage decreases. This results in inversion of the base signal.
Why voltage divider bias is called self bias?
This arrangement is called SELF-BIAS. Now, if an increase of temperature causes an increase in collector current, the collector voltage (VC) will fall because of the increase of voltage produced across the load resistor (RL). ... One of the most widely used combination-bias systems is the voltage-divider type
How transistor produce 180 degree phase shift?
In the common emitter configuration, a class A amplifier, an increase in base voltage (the input) leads to an increase in base-emitter current which leads to a proportionately larger increase in base collector current. That pulls the collector towards the emitter, which decreases the collector voltage. Since the collector is the output, this configuration is an inverting amplifier.
In which op collector current of transistor remains constant in spite of increase in base current is?
ethiyopia
Why same h parameter model is used for npn and pnp transistor?
The same h parameter model is used for npn and pnp transistors because gain is gain. It does not matter if you are using a negative or a positive system. So long as you are consistent in your calculations, you will get the correct results. In an NPN transistor operating in class A, if you increase the base current by increasing the base voltage, you will increase the collector current which decreases the collector voltage. In a PNP transistor operating in class A, if you increase the base current by decreasing the base voltage, you will still increase the collector current, which will increase the collector voltage.
What is bigger base current or the collector current?
The base current increase (decrease) is due to an increase (decrease) in vBE.The increase (decrease) in vBE increases (decreases) the injection of carriers from the heavily doped emitter.Most of these carriers cross the thin base region without recombining and are then swept across the base-collector junction into the collector region. A small percentage don't and these form the base current. the collector current is exponential in the base-emitter voltage:iC=IS^e(vBE/VT)To get a feel for this, consider this question: to double the collector current, how much would vBE need to increase?For example, assuming the bias value is VBE=0.7V, increasing this voltage by a mere 17mV (an increase of just under 2.5%) will double the collector current.According to the collector current equation, if we change the base-emitter voltage from its quiescent value by some small amount, the change in collector current is approximately:ΔiC=(IC/VT)ΔvBEAs a typical example, let the quiescent collector current IC=1mA. At room temperature, VT=25mV.Then, for these numbers, the collector current changes by 4% when the base-emitter voltage changes by 1mV.
What is the effect of temperature on leakage current?
Flow of current in the collector circuit produces heat at the collector base junction. This increases the temperature. More minority carriers are generated in base collector region, since more bands are broken,the leakage current increases. In other word, leakage current increase when temperature increase.
When a transistor is used as an amplifier increasing the base current will cause an increase in?
Increasing base current causes a proportionate increase in collector current - proportionate to hFe, unless the transistor is operated outside of linear mode.
Why is collector current increased slowly with the increase of collector to emitter voltage of a common emitter?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
Why current fluxcuate in collector current?
I suppose you mean "fluctuate". Collector current depends mostly on the base current, If the base current changes, the collector current will change in proportion.
In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?
No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.

Which is the largest of three transistor current?
Emitter current is the sum of collector current & base current , hence the largest. Base current is the smallest.
