In a properly biased PNP transistor operating in active region, the emitter terminal is _______.
more positive than the base
For a PNP transistor in the active region:
- Emitter-Base junction: forward biased
- For a p-n junction to be forward biased: the p-side (emitter) must be at a higher potential than the n-side (base).
- Therefore, the emitter is more positive than the base.
- Collector-Base junction: reverse biased (collector more negative than base for PNP).
