🔍 Key Concepts

• Transistor operating regions (cutoff, active, saturation) • How forward-biased vs reverse-biased junctions affect current flow • What happens to collector current when a transistor is driven hard ‘on’

💭 Think About

• In saturation, is the transistor just barely on, or driven fully on? How would that affect both junctions? • Think about the path from collector to emitter: for maximum current flow, what must be true about the junctions along that path? • Compare the biasing in the active region (normal amplification) with saturation. Which junction biasing changes when the transistor goes from active to saturation?

✅ Before You Answer

• Be clear on which physical junctions exist in a bipolar transistor: base–emitter and base–collector (collector–base). • Review: forward bias means the junction conducts easily; reverse bias means it blocks current (except leakage). • Identify which option describes a condition where the transistor behaves like a closed switch between collector and emitter (i.e., maximum conduction).
