What happens if a NPN transistor's collector voltage is below its emitter voltage?
Say we have a NPN transistor, and the base voltage is at 5V, the emitter voltage is 2V, and the collector voltage is at ground. Will current flow from the emitter to the collector, or is there an internal diode that blocks this? I ask because I never see this case in my book.
