There are two important parameters of a transistor: the (α) and the (β). The relation between emitter current Ie and the collector current Ic is given by the parameter, known as alpha (α) of the transistor.
Read MoreParameters of Bipolar TransistorThe PNP transistor can be used in two different modes: forward biased mode and the reverse biased mode. In forward biased mode, the current can easily flow through it. So it acts like a CLOSED SWITCH.
Read MoreHow PNP Transistor Works?The PN junction diode conducts only in one direction. So it is known as unidirectional current device. Before going to understand the energy level diagrams, please read construction and biasing of diode.
Read MoreComparative Analysis of Energy Level DiagramsWhen the external voltage applied to the PN junction is in such a direction that it cancels the potential barrier, thus permitting current flow, is called as forward biasing.
Read MoreWhat is Forward & Reverse Biasing of PN Junction?A PN junction diode is the first semiconductor device in semiconductor family. It is also known as unidirectional current device, because it allows current only in one direction through it.
