Question

The transfer characteristics of a base biased transistor has the operation regions namely, cut off, active region and saturation region. For using the transistor as an amplifier it has to operate in the region:

• A. Active
• B. Cut off
• C. Saturation
• D. Cut off and saturation

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Active

When the transistor is used in the cut off or saturation region it acts as a switch. On the other hand for using the transistor as an amplifier, it has to operate in the active region.
