When a p-n-p transistor is operating in active region, the current in the n region is due to

Electronics and Communication Engineering (ECE) : Electronic Devices and Circuits - Quiz(MCQ)

mainly holes

only holes

only electrons

mainly electrons

Correct Answer : Option (A) : mainly holes

Explanation : Since emitter is p-type, emitter current is mainly due to holes. This current diffuses through the base.
