Question

To use a transistor as an amplifier, emitter-base junction is kept in ..$X$... and base-collector junction is kept in ...$Y$... Here,$ X$ and $Y$ refer to

• A. forward bias, forward bias
• B. reverse bias, reverse bias
• C. reverse bias, forward bias
• D. forward bias, reverse bias

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

The biasing of the transistor is done differently for different uses. The transistor works as an amplifier with its emitter-base junction forward biased and the base-collector junction reverse biased.
