A; Must define the transistor type and its mode of application if you expect an answer. It has the capabilities to conduct both way on either type dueing saturation mode. Hope that helps

What is Transit time in transistor or diode?

A transistor is a switch. A diode directs the flow of current.


Is active is a cutoff region of transistor?

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 DC load line of a transistor?

A: A transistor has voltage gain as base current is allow to flow. If the load is constant then a DC mirror azimuth path can be plotted as a function of base current and collector current and that is the load line


What is a function of a transistor?

To allow current to flow in only one direction.


What component resists flow of current in an electrical circuit?

transistor


Why is the base current in transistor very small?

Because a transistor's collector current is proportionally limited by its base current, it can be used as a sort of current-controlled switch. A relatively small flow of electrons sent through the base of the transistor has the ability to exert control over a much larger flow of electrons through the collector.


How does a transistor amplify in a common emitter configuration?

The base is excited by a very low current. That turns the transistor on so that a higher amount of current flow comes out.


How does a transistor function as an amplifier?

A: The small base current will control the collector current flow by adding a resistor this changes of current flow will be evident as a voltage amplifier.


What is the indication of arrow heap in the transistor?

it indicates the direction of flow of emitter current


Why a transistor acts as a switch?

Only because the circuit that its embeded in is designed that way. Remember, a transistor is basicly an amplifier ... only if you design everything to go to the extreams will it act as a switch.


Does current flow into or out of the base of a PNP transistor for proper operation?

That depends on whether you are considering conventional current or electron current.


Why bjt is a minority carrier device?

Although a small part of the transistor current is due to the flow of majority carriers, most of the transistor current is due to the flow of minority carriers and so BJTs are classified as 'minority-carrier' devices.
