Learning

Practice Questions

Test your understanding with targeted questions related to the topic.

Question 1

Easy

What is reverse bias in a semiconductor?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think of it as a way to push current away from a junction.

Question 2

Easy

Define minority carriers in the context of BJTs.

πŸ’‘ Hint: They're not the primary carriers.

Question 1

What happens to minority carrier density when reverse bias is applied?

  • Decreases toward zero
  • Increases uniformly
  • Remains the same
  • Increases only at x=0

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the behavior of carriers in an opposing voltage.

Question 2

True or False: A BJT with isolated junctions behaves like two back-to-back diodes.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about the necessary conditions for transistor operation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A transistor is operating at a reverse bias. Describe the step-by-step process of how a small change in the reverse bias affects the collector current.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Look at how current varies as you adjust bias.

Question 2

Under various reverse bias values, derive the relationship of junction proximity to collector current and the resulting implication on transistor function.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about what happens to the spatial profile of carriers.
