In p-n-p transistor, the collector current is
Correct answer: A. Equal to emitter current
- A. Equal to emitter current
- B. Slightly less than emitter current
- C. Greater than emitter current
- D. Any of the above
Explanation
In a p-n-p transistor, the collector current is approximately equal to the emitter current. This is a characteristic of bipolar junction transistors (BJTs) when they are properly biased.

About Electronics
A p-n junction forms when p-type and n-type semiconductor regions meet, creating a depletion layer, barrier potential and rectifying action. The work covers forward and reverse bias, junction current, diode characteristics, and how a diode converts alternating current into pulsating direct current through half-wave and full-wave rectification.
