    emitter-base junction is forward biased and base-collector junction is reverse biased
  • B
    both emitter-base and base-collector junctions are forward biased.
  • C
    both emitter-base and base-collector junctions are reverse biased.
  • D
    emitter-base junction is reverse biased and base-collector junction is forward biased.

In the case of $NPN$ transistors,the collector current is always less than the emitter current because:

For a transistor in the active region:
$(a)$ 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-base junction is forward-biased and the base-collector junction is reverse-biased.
$(d)$ Both the emitter-base junction and the base-collector junction are forward-biased.
Which one of the following pairs of statements is correct?

In an $n-p-n$ transistor,$200$ electrons enter the emitter in $10^{-8} \ s$. If $1 \%$ of electrons are lost in the base,then the current that enters the emitter and the current amplification factor are respectively $\left[e=1.6 \times 10^{-19} \ C\right]$

$A$ common emitter transistor amplifier is connected with a load resistance of $6 k\Omega$. When a small a.c. signal of $15 mV$ is added to the base-emitter voltage, the alternating base current is $20 \mu A$ and the alternating collector current is $1.8 mA$. What is the voltage gain of the amplifier?
