Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

💡 Hint: Look at how current varies as you adjust bias.

Challenge 2 Hard

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

💡 Hint: Think about what happens to the spatial profile of carriers.
