A PNP transistor is operating in active region. If the emitter voltage decreases such that the emitter becomes less positive than the base while the biasing condition of the collector-base junction remains unchanged, the transistor will enter _______.
Cut-off region
For a PNP transistor in the active region:
- Emitter-Base junction: forward biased → emitter must be more positive than base.
- Collector-Base junction: reverse biased.
If the emitter voltage decreases so that the emitter becomes less positive than the base:
- The EB junction becomes reverse biased.
- No emitter current flows → no collector current.
- The transistor enters the cut-off region.
