In the working of a transisor, emitter-base junction is forward biased while collector-base junction is reverse biased. Why?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The emitter will send the majority carriers (electrons or holes) towards base only, when it is forward biased. The collector will collect the majority carriers only when it is reversed biased.
