Different between power transistor and transistor that used in small signal?

Power transistor can conduct large amount of currents through it, more than small signal transistor. power transistor has a vertical structure and small signal transistor has horizontal structure.In power transistor quasi saturation region is present which is absent in the small signal transistor. In power transistor there is a inculsion of drift layer which is not there in the small signal transistor. Power dissipation is less in power transistor and it is more in small signal transistor. b.v.polytechnic,vasai pushkar vaity.


What is meaning of npn transistor?

It can be used any where and it is preferred over PNP transistor because mobility of electron is much greater than hole.Some applications of NPN transistorsSwitchingamplification(audio amplifiers)In manufacturing of several ICs(including 741,and TTL(74 series)).

Working of npn transistor?

N-p-n transistor is made by sandwiching thin layer of p-type semiconductor between two layers of n-type semiconductor. It has three terminals, Emitter, Base and collector. The npn transistor has two supplies, one is connected through the emitter base and one through the collector base. The supply is connected such that emitter-base are forward biased and collector base are reverse biased. It means , Base has to be more positive than the emitter and in turn, the collector must be more positive than the base. The current flow in this type of transistor is carried through movement of electrons. Emitter emits electrons which are pulled my the base as it is more positive. these end up in the collector as it is yet more positive. In this way, current flows in the transistor. Transistor can be used as an amplifier, a switch etc.


What does NPN and PNP stand for in transistors?

A transistor is a three-terminal device consisting of 3 layers of semiconductor material. Two of them are one type of semiconductor and the third, a different type. For example, a PNP transistor consists of 2 layers of P-type semiconductor and a layer of N-type semiconductor between them. We can also have the NPN type transistor which has 2 layers of N-type semiconductor and a layer of P-type semiconductor between them. The three terminals are respectively referred to as emitter, base and collector. Transistors are widely used electronic components that perform the function of a switch or an amplifier. The semiconductor material used in transistors is generally silicon, germanium or gallium arsenide. Impurities are added to them in order to create electrically positive (P) or electrically negative (N) behavior. When these layers are joined together the contact potential creates a potential barrier across the PN or NP junction. This potential barrier maintains electrons on the N side and holes on the P side. NPN stands for negative positive negative PNP stands for positive negative positive. GALLIUM ARSENIDE is only used on LEDS manufacturing not transistors ANSWER: NPN negative positive negative SUBSTRATE PNP is opposite of NPN
