In saturation region on transistor characteristics, collector offers: Correct Answer Low resistance

Concept:

  • Transistor: A transistor has two PN junctions i.e., it is like two diodes. The junction between base and emitter may be called emitter diode. The junction between base and collector may be called collector diode.

Additional Information

When the transistor is in the active state, IC = IB.

Therefore, a transistor acts as an amplifier when operating in the active state. Amplification means linear amplification. In fact, small-signal amplifiers are the most common linear devices.
