Question
A power BJT is used as a power -7
control switch by biasing it in the cut
off region (off state) or in the
saturation region (on state). In the on
state
a) both the base-emitter & base-
collector junctions are forward biased
b) the base-emitter junction is reverse
biased, and the base collector junction O
is forward biased
c) the base-emitter junction is forward
biased, and the base collector junction O
is reversed biased
d) both the base-collector & the base-
emitter junctions are reversed biased
In a BJT, the outer layers are much -8
more thick as compared to the middle
.layer
a) True
b) False O
