In a pnp transistor, the p-type semiconductor, which is most heavily doped is the emitter, the n type semiconductor is the base and the n-type semiconductor is the collector. A simple change in the base voltage can cause large changes of current in the transistor. The various functions of a transistor include its applications as amplifiers and switches for the very same reason.

Let us now, try to understand the working of a transistor using the pnp transist
or as an example. In a pnp transistor, the p-type semiconductor, which is most h
eavily doped is the emitter, the n type semiconductor is the base and the other p-type semiconductor is the collector. The n-type semiconductor, which is sandwi ched in between the two p-type semiconductors is very small in dimension. Now, i n a pnp semiconductor, the emitter base junction is forward biased (p-type semic onductor is connected to the positive terminal of the battery and the n-type sem iconductor is connected to the negative terminal of the battery). The collector base junction on the other hand is reverse biased (n-type semiconductor is conne cted to the positive terminal of the battery and p-type semiconductor is connect ed to the negative terminal of the battery). The forward biased emitter-base jun ction of a semiconductor works very similar to that of a forward biased p-n junc tion diode. Know more on how does a diode work. Now the holes, or the positively charged carriers in the p-type semiconductor ar e repelled by the positive terminal and enter the base on increasing the emitter base voltage beyond a certain threshold level. Once these holes enter the base, they combine with the electrons in the base. Out of every 100 holes, approximat ely 5 holes combine with the electrons in the base of the semiconductor. The bas e being very thin, the remaining holes are transferred to the collector. The hol es in the collector are attracted towards the negative terminal of the battery b etween the collector and the base. This causes the collector current. Thus, the flow of current in a pnp transistor from the emitter to the collector. Now the q uestion is how can a transistor be used as an amplifier. A simple change in the base voltage can cause large changes of current in the transistor. The various f unctions of a transistor include its applications as amplifiers and switches for the very same reasonthe very same reason
