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.


A transistor is in active region when?

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


How do you know if a transistor is a PNP or an NPN?

To know if a transistor is PNP or an NPN,the following should be verified:For a PNP transistor, the base-collector junction is forward biased while the base-emitter junction is reversed biased.For an NPN transistor, the base-emitter junction is forward biased while the base -collector junction is reversed biased.


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.


Approximate voltage across the forward-biased base emitter?

The approximate voltage across the forward-biased base-emitter junction is 0.7 volts.

What is the deffbetween forward and reverse biased?

Asking about biasing of the emitter alone does not make sense. When you talk about bias, you talk about a junction, such as emitter-base or emitter-collector or base-collector. In a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) both the emitter-base and emitter-collector need to be forward biased, otherwise you are operating the BJT in cutoff mode. Certainly, if you intend to operate the BJT as a switch, then reverse bias for emitter-base (actually, zero bias) could well be one of the valid states, corresponding to a cutoff condition for emitter-collector. However, operation in linear mode, the other normal way to use a BJT, requires that both the emitter-base and the emitter-collector be forward biased. Of course, depending on the ratio of emitter-base to emitter-collector versus hFe, you could also be saturated, which is a non-linear mode, i.e. an on switch.

What will happen if emitter base is reversed bias and collector base is forward bias?

If emitter-base is reverse biased then there will be no amplification effect on collector-emitter. If collector-base is forward biased, it will act like a diode, but without emitter-base current, that is meaningless.

What happens when the base current of a transistor is decrease?

in a properly biased transistor, collector and emitter current also decrease

A PNP transistor is connected in a circuit so that the collector-base junction remains reverse biased and the emitter-base junction is forward biased This transistor can be used as a power amplifier?

Yes1


When an NPN transistor is properly biased then most of the electrons from the emitter?

collector


What will be the collector current of emitter base junction of a transister is reversed?

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.


The value of r when a transistor is biased to cut off is -?

Collector-to-Emitter resistance is high when the transistor is biased off.
