The emitter-base junction of a transistor is ....... biased, while the collector-base junction is ....... biased.

  1. A reverse, forward
  2. B reverse, reverse
  3. C forward, forward
  4. D forward, reverse
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) forward, reverse

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The emitter is always forward biased to enable the majority charge carriers to cross the emitter-base junction and collector-base function is in reverse biased to collect the charge carriers, so that current flows through the transistor. Hence, the emitter-base junction of a…
