In transistor, forward bias is always smaller than the reverse bias. The correct reason is

A

to avoid excessive heating of transistor

B

to maintain a constant base current

C

to produce large coltage gain

D

None of the above

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
A

If forward bias is made large, the majority charge carriers would move from the emitter to the collector through the base with high velocity. This would give rise to excessive heat causing damage to transistor.

In a transistor, forward bias voltage is always low as compared to reverse bias voltage. Why?

Draw a p-n junction with reverse bias

A 3V battery may be connected across the point A and B as shown in Fig. Assume that the resistance of each diode is zero in the forward bias and infinity in the reverse bias. Find the current supplied by the battery if the positive terminal of the battery is connected to the point A the point B.

The current in the forward bias is known to be more (in mA ) than the current in the reverse bias (in mu A ). What is the reason then to operate the photodiodes in reverse bias?
