NEET 2013 Physics Transistors MCQ Question

Type: MCQ-conceptual-Medium-Class 12

One way in which the operation of a n-p-n transistor differs from that a p-n-p is:

A

The emitter junction injects minority carriers into the base region of the n-p-n

B

The emitter injects holes into the base of the p-n-p and electrons into the base regions of n-p-n

C

The emitter injects holes into the base of n-p-n

D

The emitter junction is reversed biased in n-p-n

Correct Answer

Option B

Detailed Explanation

In an n-p-n transistor, the emitter injects electrons into the base, whereas in a p-n-p transistor, the emitter injects holes into the base.
