Why are npn transistors used more often than pnp transistors?
The primary reason that NPN transistors are used more often than PNP transistors is that they usually operate faster (at higher frequencies) because the mobility of the current carriers in NPN transistors (electrons) is much higher than that of the current carriers in PNP transistors (holes).
What is difference between npn ans pnp transistor?
NPN and PNP transistors function in essentially the same way. The power supply polarities are simply reversed for each type. The only major difference between the two types is that the NPN transistor has a higher frequency response than the PNP-because electron flow is faster than hole flow. Therefore high frequency applications will utilize NPN transistors.
Can PNP transistors be used in place of TIP31 transistors?
No...TIP31 is NPN. The complementary PNP is a TIP32. They are both large high power (40W) devices.
How many pn junction does transistor contain?
Two, either in NPN or PNP transistors
Is it emitter-base junction should be reversed for both npn and pnp transistors acts as a amplifiers?
no, the emitter base junction should be foward for both npn and pnp to act as amplifiers.
What is btj transistors?
They are NPN and PNP. BJT mean bipolar junction transistors. there are two P-N junctions in BJT transisters.
Transistors Basic material of?
silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN silicon ang germanium there are two types of transistor \ 1. PNP 2. NPN
Is the pnp transistor in common collector can be replaced with npn transistor?
No. The PNP and NPN transistors are exactly opposite each other in polarity. You cannot just replace one for the other without redesigning the circuit.
What is the difference between BJT and NPN transister?
Mainly there are two types of transistors. They are BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistors) and FET(Field Effect Transisters). In BJT, there are two types called PNP and NPN. Actually NPN means a BJT transister.
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.
What is the symbol for a transistor?
There are many types of transistors, starting out with the typical Base-Collector-Emmitter type. There are two types, starting with the NPN type, The symbol for these is PNP There are also the FET or Field Effect Transistors and their symbols are below, as well as the PNP and NPN. The FET's are divided into the N channel and J channel types:
How do you make ujt with npn and pnp transistors?
You dont. A UJT is a much simple device than either of those BJT's Maybe you want to make a multivibrator out of BJT's?
