Which one of the following circuits shows correct biasing of a PNP transistor to operate in active region in the CE mode-
A
B
C
D
Text Solution
Verified by ExpertsThe correct answer is:
D
For a PNP transistor in active region:
• Emitter-base junction → forward biased ( 
at higher potential than 
)
• Collector-base junction → reverse biased ( 
at lower potential than 
)
Among the given circuits, only satisfies these conditions.
