In p-n-p transistor the current IE has two components viz. IEP due to injection of holes from p-region to n-region and IE due to injection of electrons from n-region to p-region. Then
Options
A. IEp and IEn are almost equal
B. IEp >> IEn
C. IEn >> IEp
D. either (a) or (c)
Correct Answer
IEp >> IEn
Explanation
Emitter is p-type in p-n-p transistor.
Therefore holes are majority carriers.
