The early effect in a bipolar junction transistor is caused by_______________?

Correct answer: C. large collector-base reverse bias

  • A. fast turn-on
  • B. fast turn-off
  • C. large collector-base reverse bias
  • D. large emitter-base forward bias

Explanation

The Early effect occurs when increased collector-base reverse bias widens the base depletion region and effectively narrows the base width. This raises collector current even when base current is held constant.
