    Solving Current Drop on TIP 31 NPN Transistor in Project

    Im working on a project that involves me making a electrical circuit that will supply initially around .52 amps of current for and then drop the current to at least .40 amps of current to a actuating wire that uses current to cause wire to contract. The way i have my circuit made is that i have...

    Potientials in npn transistor

    this query was previously in electrical engg; later i found that it actually have to be solved as a solid state physics one. (as in books) In an n-p-n transistor, emitter grounded, electrons enter the emitter from ground , where 90-98% come out of collector, and rest go out of the base. In...

    Does Increasing Hole Density in an NPN Transistor Base Decrease Beta?

    If we make an NPN transistor and change the base doping level so that we get a higher consentration of holes will β increase or decrease? Why? I know β=IC/IB. Will more holes in the base make more electrons pass from the emitter to the collector increasing IC and thereby β? Or will IB...

    What is the maximum base current for a BJT NPN transistor and how can I find it?

    in BJT transistors how can I find the maximum base current? Do we have maximum voltage limitation for base of transistor? consider a resistor between input and base of transistor. I want to use a transistor that its input range is from 3 to 30 volts and its output is 5 volts. how can i do...

    NPN transistor with lowest Vbe?

    Hi - I am looking for an NPN transistor with the lowest Vbe I can get. Any suggestions for specific transistors? (rather than a material class i.e. GaAs) I only have 3.1 volts on the collector and the emitter voltage has to be above 2.5 volts to get a circuit to trip. So 3.1v - 0.7v =...

    Help on understanding NPN transistor

    Hey, I would like help understanding this scenario: (1) base-collector voltage, V_BC, is reverse-biased (2) base-emitter voltage, V_BE, is forward-biased (3) collector current, I_C, is negative Normally, if I_C was positive, I would assume the transistor to be in the forward-active...

    Which Components Are Crucial for Biasing an NPN Transistor?

    Is it the voltage divider and/or the Rc resistor that is responsible for biasing an NPN transistor. I am aware the role each play, but was just wondering which part actually biased the transistor, i wouldve thought both?

    Setting the Quiescent Point in an NPN Circuit

    Hey guys, was just wondering if you could clear up some conflicting information i have found. In the v simply NPN transistor circuit, what is responsible for settings the quiscent point? Is it the voltage divider or Rc. I no that the voltage divider ensures that the amplifier is 'switched on'...

    NPN Transistor: Facts, Power Supply, Queisecent Point

    Hey guys, sorry to keep posting things about the NPN transistor but i think I am starting to understand it. I was just wondering if you could confirm these facts for me: 1. An external powersupply is needed to turn the transistor on (by forward-biasing the emitter-base junction), or by using a...

    Understanding NPN Transistors: Emitter, Collector, and Capacitor

    Hey guys, was just wondering if you could clear up a fact about NPN transistors. 1. Is this emmiter current slightly larger than the collector current? 2. The reason why the emmiter current is slightly larger is because the emitter current is a combination of the collector current plus the...
