In case of NPN-transistor the collector ...

In case of `NPN`-transistor the collector current is always less than the emitter current because

A

Collector side is reverse biased and emitter side is forward biased

B

After electrons are lost in the base and only remaining ones reach the collector

C

Collector side is forward biased and emitter side is reverse side

D

Collector being reverse biased attracts less electrons

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B
`i_(e)=i_(b)+i_(c) implies i_(c)=i_(e)-i_(b)`
