I want to ask a fairly simple question. Its about transistor working modes. Just to be sure I am thinking right.
If we apply positive voltages to both EB junction and CB junction. By that I mean that Positive potential comes to collector and positive potential comes to emitter. I've learned that this acts like a closed switch, right?
Does that mean that current will flow through transistor like through a piece of wire(ideally acting like a transistor wasn't even there)
And second case:
When transistor is directly polarized. And by that I mean EB in direct polarization and CB in inverse polarization.
Then we have current amplification. What does that mean actually?
Does that mean that I will have more current going through that wire than I would have if a transistor wasn't there?I hope I was clear with my question.
