Source sentences:
text: then the base current flows through the transistor but here the base voltage needs to be more negative with respect to the emitter to operate transistor.
text: When no current is flowing in the transistor, we know the p-type silicon is short of electrons (shown here by the little plus signs, representing positive charges) and the two pieces of n-type silicon have extra electrons (shown by the little minus signs, representing negative charges).
text: This "field effect" allows a current to flow and switches the transistor on:
text: You'd imagine that no current could flow through a transistor because back-to-back diodes would block current both ways.
text: In this type of configuration, the current flowing out of the transistor must be equal to the currents flowing into the transistor as the emitter current is given as Ie = Ic + Ib.
text: Therefore, no current can flow across the transistor from the drain to the source.
text: When the current flows through this transistor, the base terminal of the transistor gets the electrical signal.
text: Because an electric current flows through such a transistor, it can be used as a light-emitting device, thus integrating current modulation and light emission.
text: The collector voltage, ( Vc ) must be greater and positive with respect to the emitter voltage, ( Ve ) to allow current to flow through the transistor between the collector-emitter junctions.
text: The voltage is applied to the input terminal which is called its Gate and the current flowing through the transistor is depending on the electric field produced by the gate voltage.
text: By combining the two parameters α and β we can produce two mathematical expressions that gives the relationship between the different currents flowing in the transistor.
