The popularity of BJTs is due to the fact that they are cheap to manufacture
and use very little energy. This has given them the advantage over vacuum
tubes in most applications. However, this does not mean that BJTs are
better than other semiconductor devices or that they will replace
transistors- just that BJT use is on the rise.
3. What will happen to the BJT circuitry when PNP and NPN bases
receives signals?
The BJT (bipolar junction transistor) is an electrical circuit that plays a key
role in the design of amplifiers and audio systems. It's based on three
components called resistors, capacitors, and inductors. This article is about
what happens when capacitors are connected to the positive or negative
base of the transistor.
Normally, when a signal is applied to the input pin, it will cause current to
flow through this pin. This signal then causes a voltage across taps 1 and 3
- which is V1 - resulting in a current flowing into both transistors - which
causes a voltage difference between V3 (the output) and V2 (the collector).
