          Question 1.
          \nExplain the working of an npn transistor.
          \n\"1st
          \nAnswer:
          \nThe emitter base junction is forward biased by power supply VEE<\/sub>\u00a0and the collector base junction is reverse biased by the power supply VCC<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

          The negative terminal of VE<\/sub>E<\/sub> repels the majority charge carriers electrons in the n type emitter towards the base region. When VE<\/sub>E<\/sub> is greater than the barrier potential of emitter base junction the electrons from emitter region move to thep type base region. This forms the emitter current L.<\/p>\n

          The base is thin and has only few electrons. Hence only few electrons and holes recombine and this forms the base current IE<\/sub>. The remaining free electrons in the base region move to collector region attracted by the +VCC<\/sub>. They move through the collector region into +VCC<\/sub>, This forms the collector current IC<\/sub>.<\/p>\n

          The relation connecting the currents in the transistor is IE<\/sub> = IB<\/sub> + IC<\/sub><\/p>\n
