Question

a pnp transistor requires bias voltage polarities opposite to an npn transistor.
select one:
○ true
○ false

Explanation:

In an NPN transistor, the base - emitter junction is forward - biased (positive voltage on the base relative to the emitter) and the base - collector junction is reverse - biased (positive voltage on the collector relative to the base). In a PNP transistor, the base - emitter junction is forward - biased (negative voltage on the base relative to the emitter) and the base - collector junction is reverse - biased (negative voltage on the collector relative to the base). So, the bias voltage polarities of a PNP transistor are opposite to those of an NPN transistor.

Answer:

True
