How is the NPN transistor different from the PNP transistor?

"P" is for Positive and "N" is for Negative So basically put a PNP Transistor Would use N to Switch P, in the name "PNP" or "NPN" the first character is for the polarity of the Collector-pin, the second for the Base-Pin, and the third for the Emmiter-pin. So if you have a PNP Transistor you can`t just replace it with an NPN as the polarities differ. If you can find a way to change those polarities then sure it could work. The Collector-pin basically receives the bigger current. The Base-pin determines how much of that current will be transferred to the emmiter-pin. So in a PNP the base current could for example be 0V and the Collector 5V, this will allow a free flow of current from Collector to Emmiter, the usage of a transistor in many cases is to switch high current with lower current. The main difference is that a PNP transistor uses "holes" as carriers and an NPN transistor uses electrons as carriers (It is to be remembered that the flow of current is always in the direction opposite to that of the flow of electrons). The difference in the symbol for the two transistors are that the PNP transistor will have an arrow pointed to the base from the emitter, and the NPN has it pointing outside.


Why emitter current flows away from base in NPN transistor?

arrows are shown for conventional current, not electron current.

2 transistor analogy for scr and derivation for expression of anode current?

a thyristor can be considered as two complementary transistors , one pnp- transistor, and other npn transistor


In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?

No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.


What are 2n2369 transistor?

What is a 2N2369 transistor.It's an npn switching transistor.


Why npn transistor are more using than pnp transistor. Give two reasons?

1. NPN transistors current conductin is by electrons and conventional current flow will be in the opposite direction. 2. Majority charge carriers are electrons whose mobility is almost double than that of holes.


What is SL100?

It is an npn power transistor


When a PNP transistor is connected in a circuit it can be used as a power amplifier because?

A PNP transistor has no advantage or disadvantage over an NPN transistor in its ability as an amplifier. Rather, the current-handling capacities of the transistor determine if it's usable as an amplifier.

When an NPN transistor is saturated its Vce?

is zero


Why npn is preferred over pnp?

Mostly electron current carriers are more mobile than hole current carriers, resulting in a faster transistor.
