Q. Consider an $n-p-n$ transistor with its base emitter junction forward biased and collector base junction reverse biased. Which of the following statements are true?

Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

In an $n-p-n$ transistor when base emitter junction is forward biased and collector base junction is reverse biased, the majority charge carriers electrons move from emitter to base. In base few electrons get neutralised by electron-hole combination and the remaining electrons cross over the collector.
