some of emitter current goes out base instead of collector
What else can I help you with?
Why is collector current slightly less than emitter?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
Why is collector current less than emitter current?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
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 the base current in the transistor is so much less than the collector?
as the base current is very small compared to the emitter current,the collector current is nearly equal to the emitter current..
What will happen to voltage divider circuit if emitter resistance is greater than collector resistance?
The gain of a class A, common emitter BJT amplifier, a fairly standard configuration, is defined as collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, or as hFe, whichever is less. Assuming that we are operating in a linear mode, and hFe is not a limiting factor, then the emitter resistance being greater than the collector resistance simply means that the gain is less than one.
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 is the base current in a transistor so much less than the collector current?
as the base current is very small compared to the emitter current,the collector current is nearly equal to the emitter current..
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 is junction capacitance of collector to base junction is lower than base to emitter junction?
The collector base depletion zone is wider than the emitter base depletion zone.
What is the major difference an NPN transistor and a PNP transistor?
The NPN transistor has its conduction curve where the base is more positive than the emitter, while the collector is also more positive than the emitter. The PNP transistor is exactly opposite, with its conduction curve where the base is less positive than the emitter, while the collector is also less positive than the emitter.
For normal operation of an npn transistor the base must be ground true or false?
False. For normal operation, an NPN transistor will have the base be more positive than the emitter and less positive than the collector, with the collector more positive than the emitter. Whether the base is grounded or not depends on the chosen design configuration of the circuit.
Explain why the collector voltage is approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short?
The collector voltage is not necessarily approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short. It depends on whether or not there is an emitter resistor.A typical collector-emitter circuit has two resistors, one in the collector and one in the emitter. One or both of them might be zero, i.e. not present, depending on design requirements. The collector-emitter junction represents a third resistor, the value of which is dependent on base-emitter vs collector-emitter current ratios and hFe.If the collector-emitter junction is shorted, then this circuit degrades to a simple voltage divider, or single resistor, and the collector-emitter voltage differential will be approximately zero. Simply calculate the voltage based on the one or two resistances.Results could be different than calculated, if the resistors are small in camparision to the shorted impedance, and it could be different depending on the base to emitter or collector relationship in that fault state, though the latter case is usually negligible due to the relatively high resistances of the base bias circuit.
