In \(p-n-p\) transistor, the collector current is

  1. A equal to emitter current
  2. B slightly less than emitter current
  3. C greater than emitter current
  4. D half of emitter current
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) slightly less than emitter current

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

In \(p-n-p\) transistor the collector current is slightly less than emitter current because the emitter-base junction is forward biased, so the majority charge carries (holes) of emitter get replaced from the positive terminal and move towards base. As, base is lightly dopped,…
