    The document summarizes an experiment on transistor familiarization. Key findings include: 1) The terminals of NPN and PNP BJTs were identified, with the emitter terminal adjacent to the metal casing in both. 2) Measurements of an NPN transistor showed a base current of 10.786mA and collector current of 409.19mA when switched on, and near zero currents when switched off. 3) The NPN transistor was operating in the active region when on, passing large currents between emitter and collector with a small biasing base current.

    BJT Familiarization

    1. Terminals of the 2N2219 NPN BJT with TO-39 metal casing.

    Right (R): Emitter


    Left (L): Collector
    Middle (M): Base

    Which terminal is next to the metal tab of the transistor package (case)?
    Emitter

    2. Terminals of the 2N3502 PNP BJT with TO-39 metal casing.

    Right (R): Emitter


    Left (L): Collector
    Middle (M): Base

    Which terminal is next to the metal tab of the transistor package (case)?
    Emitter

    3. Terminals of the 2N5486 N-channel FET with TO-92 casing.

    Right (R): Source


    Left (L): Drain
    Middle (M): Gate

    5. Measure the voltage across R1. Using the equation, IB = VR1 / R1, calculate
    the base current when the lamp is on and when the lamp is off.
    Figure 4.25a Switch ON

    Figure 4.25b Switch OFF

    VR1 = 5.0694 V
    IB(ON) = 10.786 mA
    IB(OFF) = IB(OFF) = 0 A

    With the lamp on,

    6. Measure the base and collector currents.

    IB(ON) = 10.786 mA
    IC(ON) = 409.19 mA

    7. Measure the base-to-emitter voltage VBE and the collector-to-emitter voltage


    VCE.
    Figure 4.26a Switch ON

    VBE(ON) = 0.93058volts
    VCE(ON) = 0.10771 volts

    8. What is the operating region of the NPN transistor?

    The operating region of NPN transistors occurs when the electrons pass
    through the base region. A large current then freely flows between the
    emitter and collector terminals. A small biasing current must flow into
    the base to act as a current control input.

    With the lamp off,

    9. Measure the base and collector currents.

    Figure 4.26b Switch OFF


    IB(OFF) = 0 A
    IC(OFF) = 0 A

    10. Measure the base-to-emitter voltage VBE and the collector-to-emitter voltage
    VCE.

    VBE(OFF) = 0 volts
    VCE(OFF) = 6 volts
    11. What is the operating region of the NPN transistor?
    12. Compare the calculated and measured base currents when the lamp is ON and
    when the lamp is OFF. When the lamp is on, the base current produced is
    10.786mA. When the lamp is off, the base current produced is -6.0001pA or
    approximately no current flowing.

    13. Complete Table 4.2.

    Table 4.2
    Collector Current, IC Base Current, IB DC Current Gain
    β = IC / IB
    400 mA (98.429%) 4.0389 mA 99.04
    350 mA (98.041%) 3.5 mA 100
    300 mA (97.56%) 3 mA 100
    250 mA (96.875%) 2.5 mA 100
    200 mA (95.852%) 2 mA 100
    150 mA (94.145%) 1.5 mA 100
    100 mA (90.729%) 1 mA 100
    50 mA (80.442%) 0.5 mA 100
    Average DC Current Gain, β 99.88
