Question 9 • Physics

In which type of transistor does current flow from the base to the emitter?

Answer
A
a PNP transistor, which has a p-type base
B
a PNP transistor, which has an n-type base
C
an NPN transistor, which has a p-type base
D
an NPN transistor, which has an n-type base

Explanation

An NPN transistor has a p-type base and an n-type emitter. In normal operation, conventional current enters the base and flows out through the emitter, so it flows from the base to the emitter. Therefore, the correct choice is an NPN transistor with a p-type base.
