Question
CBSEENPH12038763

State True or False:

For transistor action, which of the following statements are correct:

A.

Base, emitter and collector regions should have similar size and doping concentrations.

B.

The base region must be very thin and lightly doped.

C.

The emitter junction is forward biased and collector junction is reverse biased.

D.

Both the emitter junction as well as the collector junction are forward biased.

Solution
A. FALSE
B. TRUE
C. TRUE
D. FALSE
Statements (b) and (c) are true. 

For a transistor, β = ICIB  

                     IB = ICβ 

                   Ri = ViIB = ViICβ

 i.e.,                 Ri  IIc 

Therefore, Ri depends upon collector current IC.

For a transistor action, the emitted junction is forward biased and collector junction is reverse biased.
