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 will happen to voltage divider circuit if emitter resistance is greater than collector resistance?

The gain of a class A, common emitter BJT amplifier, a fairly standard configuration, is defined as collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, or as hFe, whichever is less. Assuming that we are operating in a linear mode, and hFe is not a limiting factor, then the emitter resistance being greater than the collector resistance simply means that the gain is less than one.


What will happen when terminals base and emitter gets interchanged in a transistor?

It won't work.


What will happen if instead of npn transister pnp is used?

It really depends on the configuration of the circuit. A transistor can be connected in any of at least 3 configurations: common base, common emitter, and common collector. Each of these type of configurations determines where the source of electron flow is connected. After that, the biasing configuration needs to be determined, and this will change depending on whether you are using an NPN or PNP transistor. In the simpler biasing configurations, swapping a NPN for a PNP or vice versa will prevent current from flowing as the collector, base, and/or emitter will be reverse or forward-biased incorrectly. You would then either be blocking currently flow, or possibly causing a short circuit. Again, it depends on the configuration. Generally speaking, it is not a good idea. One potential result is you can damage the transistor or even destroy it or possibly damage other components in the circuit.


What would happen if the direction of the current through a hall probe is reversed?

The idea is that the magnetic field of the device reacts with the external magnetic field. If the current is reversed, the magnetic field would also be reversed, and the reading would be the opposite.


What happen if the series resistor in a forward-biased p-n junction is short-circuited?

The junction (diode or transistor) will be destroyed.

What will happen to the emitter current if the emitter base is reversed biased?

as we know that in reverse bias condition no current is produced and if it produced by the minority charge carrier then also the current produced is in very less amount so u can say that emitter current will reduced to large extend as compare to emitter current in forward bias condition
