Most of the majority carriers from the emitter____________?
Correct answer: C. pass through the base region to the collector
- A. recombine in the base
- B. recombine in the emitter
- C. pass through the base region to the collector
- D. none of the above
Explanation
The emitter is heavily doped so it injects a large number of majority carriers into the thin, lightly doped base. Most cross the base without recombining and are swept into the collector; only a small fraction contributes to base current.
