to prevent direct conduction from base while collectingminority base carriers from emitter that "overshoot" the thin base.

How can electrons flow through base collector reversed biased region in transistors?

collector base is reverse biased (connect n region to be +ve terminal &p region to - ve terminal .due to forward biasing at emittor base juntion electrons follow from emittor to base .


How must the two transistor junction be biased proper transistor amplifier operation?

A: Actually it is only one transistor required for amplification the other junction can be a diode. As current Begin to flow it causes a bias across one junction which is opposite biasing for the other, A good differential amplifier will have those junction virtually at the same point with a very good current source because any mismatched will cause and output without any input. It is called voltage offset on the other end if the feedback current is very small it will also produce an output voltage offset known as current offset or basically errors


How is a non-conducting diode biased?

A nonconducting diode is biased in the reversed direction (reverse polarization).


What is the deffbetween forward and reverse biased?

Asking about biasing of the emitter alone does not make sense. When you talk about bias, you talk about a junction, such as emitter-base or emitter-collector or base-collector. In a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) both the emitter-base and emitter-collector need to be forward biased, otherwise you are operating the BJT in cutoff mode. Certainly, if you intend to operate the BJT as a switch, then reverse bias for emitter-base (actually, zero bias) could well be one of the valid states, corresponding to a cutoff condition for emitter-collector. However, operation in linear mode, the other normal way to use a BJT, requires that both the emitter-base and the emitter-collector be forward biased. Of course, depending on the ratio of emitter-base to emitter-collector versus hFe, you could also be saturated, which is a non-linear mode, i.e. an on switch.
