TRANSISTOR CHARACTERISTIC EXPERIMENT- 2017

AIM

To draw the input and output characteristics of medium power P - N-P silicon transistor in common
Emitter (CE) mode.

INTRODUCTION

Trans1stor is the semi- conductor analogue of a triode and is a current operated device. In a transistor
the Emitter base junction is forward blased and Base - Collector junction is reversed Biased.
Transistor are of the two types (i) P- N-- P transistor and () N-P-N transistor.

In aP- N-P transistor the base in a N- type semi - conductor and the emitter and collector are P
type semi conductor. In a p -N- P transistor the base is a P - type semi - conductor and he emitter
and collector are N- type semi-conductor.

A transistor can be connected in three configuration common base common emitter and common
collector. Here we will study the characteristics of P- N- P transistor in common emitter
configuration.
