Storage time of a transistor changes

AI Thread Summary
The storage time of a transistor is influenced by the position of resistors connected to its base voltage. When the resistor was moved to ground, the storage time increased due to changes in minority carrier concentration near the pn junction. This phenomenon occurs because the resistor's position affects the transistor's charge and discharge characteristics. Clarification on the term "storage time" was requested, as it is not commonly used in standard terminology. Understanding these electrical principles is crucial for effective transistor operation.

:rolleyes: hi,
could anyone pls tell me why the storage time of a transistor changes as u change the position of one resistor?
During an experiment, when the resistor connected to the base voltage was reconnected to the ground i noticed that the storage time increased. pls someone explain to me why.
thanks!

(i'd appreciate multiple answers, so pls if smne has answered, pls feel free to drop your own answers too.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "storage time," as this is not a parameter I've ever heard of. Can you please try describing your question in more standard terminology?

the storage time is the time needed for minority carrier concentration in the vincinity of pn junction to be reduced to zero

Thread 'Voltmeter readings for this circuit with switches'

TL;DR Summary: I would like to know the voltmeter readings on the two resistors separately in the picture in the following cases , When one of the keys is closed When both of them are opened (Knowing that the battery has negligible internal resistance) My thoughts for the first case , one of them must be 12 volt while the other is 0 The second case we'll I think both voltmeter readings should be 12 volt since they are both parallel to the battery and they involve the key within what the...

Thread 'Correct statement about a reservoir with an outlet pipe'

The answer to this question is statements (ii) and (iv) are correct. (i) This is FALSE because the speed of water in the tap is greater than speed at the water surface (ii) I don't even understand this statement. What does the "seal" part have to do with water flowing out? Won't the water still flow out through the tap until the tank is empty whether the reservoir is sealed or not? (iii) In my opinion, this statement would be correct. Increasing the gravitational potential energy of the...
