Transistors and Applications - Technical MCQs

Q1:

Three different points are shown on a dc load line. The upper point represents the

A minimum current gain

B quiescent point

C saturation point

D cutoff point

ANS:C - saturation point

As the forward bias in a semiconductor P-N junction increases, the current through the junction also increases, up to a certain point. When the bias is increased beyond that point (called the saturation point) , no further increase in the current occurs.
