When a bipolar junction transistor is operating in the saturation mode, which one of the following statements is TRUE about the state of its collector-base (CB) and the base-emitter (BE) junctions?

When a bipolar junction transistor is operating in the saturation mode, which one of the following statements is TRUE about the state of its collector-base (CB) and the base-emitter (BE) junctions? Correct Answer Both the CB and BE junctions are forward biased.

In Bipolar transistor, saturation mode occurs when

1. Collector – base (CB) is forward biased.

2. Base-emitter (BE) is also forward biased.

Hence, for the saturation condition, bath the junction should be in forward-bias, as shown in the figure below.
