Question A-002-003-007

Which component conducts electricity from a positive emitter to a negative collector when its base is made negative?

Correct Answer

A PNP transistor

Explanation

In a PNP transistor, a negative voltage on the base (relative to the emitter) forward-biases the base-emitter junction, allowing hole flow from the P-type emitter to the P-type collector.
