Questions and Answers

Explain the role of base-emitter (VBE) voltage and base-collector (VBC) voltage in a BJT.

The base-emitter (VBE) voltage and base-collector (VBC) voltage play crucial roles in controlling the operation of a BJT. VBE voltage controls the base current (IB) and VBC voltage affects the collector current (IC).

How are the collector current (IC), emitter current (IE), and base current (IB) related in a BJT?

The collector current (IC) is equal to the base current (IB) multiplied by the current gain (β). The emitter current (IE) is the sum of the collector current (IC) and the base current (IB).

What type of biasing do the base-emitter and base-collector junctions correspond to in a BJT?

The base-emitter junction corresponds to a forward-biased PN junction, while the base-collector junction corresponds to a reverse-biased PN junction.

Explain the significance of the base-emitter (VBE) voltage and base-collector (VBC) voltage in the operation of a BJT.

The base-emitter (VBE) voltage controls the injection of minority carriers from the emitter to the base, while the base-collector (VBC) voltage affects the width of the base region and the extent of the collector current. Signup and view all the answers

Describe the relationship between collector current (IC), emitter current (IE), and base current (IB) in a BJT.

The collector current (IC) is equal to the common-emitter current gain (β) times the base current (IB), and the emitter current (IE) is the sum of the collector current (IC) and base current (IB). Signup and view all the answers

Discuss the behavior of the base-emitter and base-collector junctions in a BJT in terms of biasing.

The base-emitter junction is forward-biased, allowing for the injection of minority carriers, while the base-collector junction is reverse-biased, enabling the collection of majority carriers. Signup and view all the answers

Study Notes

BJT Voltages & Currents

In a BJT, the base-emitter (VBE) voltage and the base-collector (VBC) voltage play crucial roles.

Current Relationships

Collector current (IC) is related to base current (IB) through the equation: IC = β * IB
Emitter current (IE) is related to collector current (IC) and base current (IB) through the equation: IE = IC + IB

Junction Voltages

The voltage across the base-emitter junction corresponds to a forward-biased PN junction
The voltage across the base-collector junction corresponds to a reverse-biased PN junction
