The question is poorly phrased and needs a grammatical cleanup.

If you mean to ask "what happens to the collector-emitter current of a transistor when the emitter-base junction is reverse biased" then the answer is that the transistor will turn off, and you will only see leakage current.

Who collector base current when emitter is off?

When the emitter of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is off, the collector-base junction is typically reverse-biased, meaning that the collector current is minimal or negligible. In this state, the collector-base junction does not conduct significant current because the emitter does not provide carriers to the base. As a result, the collector current is effectively zero, and the transistor is in its cutoff region.


What is the difference between common base emitter transistor and common base transistor?

Common base transistor if the emitter is open current Ie=0 but a small collector current thus exist.this current is reversed biased collector to the base voltage it is represented by Icbo while common emitter is d base terminal is open circuit and the base junction is reversed biased current Icbo flow from the tcollector to the emitter in the external circuit this current is called leakage current.


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.


Function of transister?

transister is the electronic divice used for correct current flow


What is unijunction tranjistor?

In unijunction transister there be a only one P-N Junction like diode, and current conduction takes place by either through holes or electrons.


Why is transistor called a current controlled device?

for a BJT to amplify we give input signalif suppose we use BJT in CE configuration input is given at Emitter-Base junction and output is taken at Collector base junctionthe input voltage increases or decreases the forward bias of the E-B junction affecting a change in the base current and we know that collector current is a function of base current collector current also variesso by selectively changing the base current we can effectively change the collector current


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.


What bias conditions must be present for the normal operation of a transistor ampilifier?

Assuming you mean a bipolar junction transistor (BJT): 1. Reverse bias on the collector-base junction. 2. Forward bias on the base-emitter junction, that is 3. Sufficient to give the correct operating point of collector voltage/collector current.


How do you reverse bias base collector junction?

To reverse bias a base-collector junction in a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), you need to apply a positive voltage to the collector relative to the base for an NPN transistor (or a negative voltage for a PNP transistor). This involves connecting the collector terminal to a higher potential and ensuring the base terminal is at a lower potential. As a result, the depletion region at the base-collector junction widens, preventing current flow between the collector and base. This condition is essential for transistor operation in certain configurations, such as in cutoff mode.


How do you reset an immobilized 2011 Outback?

heart is defined as the best transister. Transister is best current for loop


What does it mean when you say a transistors junction is saturated?

It's called saturation because the collector voltage cannot go any lower. You've done all you can do with your base current (in Common Emitter configuration) to lower the collector voltage and support the collector current.


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.
