What is the biasing condition of junctions in bipolar junction transistor to work as an amplifier? Correct Answer Forward biased base to emitter junction and reverse biased base to collector junction

BJT Amplifier:

  • Transistors biasing is done to keep stable DC operating conditions needed for its functioning as an amplifier.
  • A properly biased transistor must have its Q-point (DC operating parameters like IC and VCE) at the center of saturation mode and cut-off mode i.e. active mode.
  • In the active mode of transistor operation, the base-emitter junction is forward biased and the base-collector junction is reverse biased.​
