What are the leads labeled as in a bipolar junction transistor?
- E, C, and B for emitter, collector, and base
- P, N, and P for positive, negative, and positive
- A, B, and C for anode, base, and cathode

Why are the emitter and collector regions not interchangeable in a BJT?
Why are the emitter and collector regions not interchangeable in a BJT?
- Due to the difference in doping levels (correct)
- Because they are physically identical
- Due to their interchangeable nature
- Because they have the same doping level
