Question

In a voltage-divider biased npn transistor, if the upper voltage-divider resistor (the one connected to VCC) opens:______.

a) the transistor goes into cutoff.
b) the transistor goes into saturation.
c) the transistor burns out.
d) the supply voltage is too high.

Answer 1

The transistor goes into cutoff ( A )

Step-by-step explanation:

In a voltage-divider biased npn transistor, if the upper voltage-divider resistor (the one connected to VCC) opens the transistor goes into cutoff

Voltage-divider biased npn transistor is a transistor that consists of some resistors and this resistors help to divide and distribute the voltage entering the transistor into its correct levels ( this is the most popular means of biasing a BJT transistor )
