Assertion: transistor's voltage | /r/HasProperty | applied to the base-emitter junction
Facets:
value: in an npn transistor
type: LOCATION
value: to cause
type: PURPOSE
Source sentences:
text: The sentence should read "when a current flows between the base and emitter.." or "..if enough positive voltage is applied to the base-emitter junction to cause a current to flow..".
text: "..when a positive voltage is applied to the base–emitter junction.." [ edit ]
text: In an NPN transistor, for example, when a positive voltage is applied to the base-emitter junction, the equilibrium between thermally generated carriers and the repelling electric field of the depletion region becomes unbalanced, allowing thermally excited electrons to inject into the base region.
