The active region of a transistor is when the transistor has sufficient base current to turn the transistor on and for a larger current to flow from emitter to collector. This is the region where the transistor is on and fully operating.

What is cutoff region in transistor?

The cutoff region is when the transistor doesn't have sufficient base current to drive a larger current from emitter to collector. Therefore, the transistor does not turn on and stays shut off.


Is transistor a linear or non linear device?

we will operate transistor mainly in 4 regions..namely active ,cutoff,saturation and pinch off region depending on the type of biasing. if it is under active region then transistor is a linear device.. linearity in the sense if the output is proportional to input then it is said to be linear.


A transistor is in active region when?

a transistor in active region when emitter junction is forward biased nd collector junction is reverse biased


What is the biasing technique in transistor for it to be in active region?

For a transistor to be in active region : Base Emitter junction should be forward biased and Emitter collector junction should be reverse biased.


What is saturation and active region in a transistor?

The output current of a transistor is controlled by the current in the 'base' input: Increasing the control current will increase the output current in a more or less linear fashion. In the saturation region, this is no longer true: The transistor is nearing the limits of how much current it can conduct, so increasing the control current further has little or no effect. When using a transistor as an amplifier, you want to stay away from the saturation region as it would distort the signal you are amplifying. When using a transistor as an on/off switch, as in digital circuits, being in the saturated region is 'on' and a normal mode of operation.

Why transistors are designed?

For switching applications transistor is biased to operate in the saturation or cutoff region. Transistor in cutoff region will act as an open switching whereas in saturation will act as a closed switch.

a transistor in active region when emitter junction is forward biased nd collector junction is reverse biased


Why a transistor can be operated in active region?

a transistor can only work in active region cox in active region collector base junction is in reverse bias and emitter base junction is in forward bias.

Is transistor active element?

yes transistor is an active element.


Why transistor is called transfer of resistor?

Transistor=Transfer+Resistor. When Transistor operates in active region its input resistance is high and output resistance is low. So,We can consider transistor as a device which transfers its resistance from high to low. And by this property transistor amplifies input signal.
