It forms two PN junctions with Emitter and Collector.

So that most of the charge carriers pass to the collector.It is a middle section of a transistor.It is always forward biased with respect to base.Main function is to supply the majority carriers to the base.To inject a large number of charge carriers.polarity of the power supply for each type Collector Base Emitter.Collector ( C ) Principle of operation of the two transistor types PNP and NPN.current regulating devices that control the amount of current flowing through themīJT Basic construction The BJT is a three terminal device that produce two PN junctions.p-type semiconductorsthe material lead to a deficiency of electrons and therefore an excess of positive charge carriers or “holes.”.n-type semiconductorsthe impurities result in an excess of electrons, or negative charges.which basically describes the physical arrangement of the P-type and N-type semiconductor materials.Two basic types of bipolar junction transistor construction,.If the transistor is a PNP, then the arrow points to the base of the transistor, otherwise it points to the output.The symbol of the transistor has an arrow on the emitter.Each transistor has 3 leads which we call base, collector and emitter, and we use the symbols b, c and e respectively.if the two materials are N and the middle one is P, then we have a N-P-N material or NPN.

if the two similar materials are P and the middle one is N, then we have a P-N-P or PNP transistor.

A BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) transistor has inside two similar semi conductive materials, and between them there is a third semi conductive material of different type.

Impurities have been introduced by a process called “doping”.

The transistor is an arrangement of semiconductor materials that share common physical boundaries.
