For transistor action,which of the following statements are correct `:`
(a) Base, emitter and collector regions should have similar size and doping concentrations.
(b) The base region must be very thin and lightly doped.
(c ) The emitter junction is forward biased and collector junction is reverser biased.
(d) Both the emitter junction as well as the collector junction are forward baised.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
b

(b ) and ( c). For a transistor `beta= ( I_(C ))/( I_(B))`
`I_(B) = ( I_(C ))/( beta) ` (or ) `R_("input")= (V_("input"))/( V_(B)) =(V_("input"))/( I_(C))= beta,` i.e., `R_("input ")prop (I)/( I_(C ))`
Therefore `R_("input")` is inversly proportional to the collector current. For high collector curren, the `R_("input") ` should be small for which the base region must be very thin and lightly doped for a transistor action, the emitter junction is forward biased and collector junction is reverse biased.
