In a bipolar junction transistor (BJT), the collector current (Ic) is always the largest of the three currents, which include the base current (Ib) and the emitter current (Ie). This is because the collector current is primarily influenced by the amplified current from the base, while the emitter current is the sum of the base and collector currents (Ie = Ib + Ic). In field-effect transistors (FETs), the drain current (Id) is typically the largest. Overall, in both types of transistors, the current flowing through the collector or drain is generally larger than that through the base or source.

Which is the largest of three transistor current?

Emitter current is the sum of collector current & base current , hence the largest. Base current is the smallest.


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 meant by saying at what current is transistor biased?

The saying "at what current is transistor biased" means to ask the current through the transistor when there is no signal present. Typically, a transistor is biased at the center of its linear region, so as to minimize distortion. This, of course, depends on whether or not the transistor is AC or DC coupled, and where the clipping points might be.

What percentage of the total current in a transistor flows through the collector?

The total current in a transistor is the emitter current, which is the sum of the collector current and the base current. The ratio of collector current over base current, in linear mode, is beta-DC, or hFe. However, in order for linear mode to be true, the ratings of the transistor must not be exceeded, and the collector current must not be limited by the circuit. Note also that hFe is temperature dependent, and is expressed in the data sheet as a minimum, not an absolute value - it can vary from transistor to transistor.


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.


Why is the base of transistor made very thin?

Base of transistor is made thin just to get Collector current equal to Emitter current.
