Explain why the collector voltage is approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short?
The collector voltage is not necessarily approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short. It depends on whether or not there is an emitter resistor.A typical collector-emitter circuit has two resistors, one in the collector and one in the emitter. One or both of them might be zero, i.e. not present, depending on design requirements. The collector-emitter junction represents a third resistor, the value of which is dependent on base-emitter vs collector-emitter current ratios and hFe.If the collector-emitter junction is shorted, then this circuit degrades to a simple voltage divider, or single resistor, and the collector-emitter voltage differential will be approximately zero. Simply calculate the voltage based on the one or two resistances.Results could be different than calculated, if the resistors are small in camparision to the shorted impedance, and it could be different depending on the base to emitter or collector relationship in that fault state, though the latter case is usually negligible due to the relatively high resistances of the base bias circuit.
Why does collector current increase with base current?
the collector current is directly proportional to the base current
What causes collector current to flow when the emitter current is zero?
A: All transistor experience some kind of leakage with the one of the three termianal open. it called Iceo.
Variation in beta DC to collector current?
variation in beta dc with collector current
What is the input current for common collector?
from the name itself the common collector has its collector terminal in common with both the input and output circuits of a transistor and the base current is chosen as the input current and the output current is the emitter current
What is operating points?
the voltage at which voltage collector emmiter & collector current becomes zero

How do you draw DC load line and determine the Q point?
we should be take two point from the the graph between collector current and emitter-collector voltage.. along the horizontal line collector current is zero and emitter-collector voltage become Vcc,and along the vertical line emitter-collector voltage is zero and collector current become Vcc/RL then by this line that drow between this two point is called load line that in this line the transistor allowed to operate....
Why does collector current increase with base current?
the collector current is directly proportional to the base current
Why current fluxcuate in collector current?
I suppose you mean "fluctuate". Collector current depends mostly on the base current, If the base current changes, the collector current will change in proportion.
What causes collector current to flow when the emitter current is zero?
A: All transistor experience some kind of leakage with the one of the three termianal open. it called Iceo.
Why is collector current increased slowly with the increase of collector to emitter voltage of a common emitter?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
Variation in beta DC to collector current?
variation in beta dc with collector current
Why is collector current less than emitter current?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
What is the input current for common collector?
from the name itself the common collector has its collector terminal in common with both the input and output circuits of a transistor and the base current is chosen as the input current and the output current is the emitter current
What is the effect of increasing the resistance of the potentiometer to the current flowing in the collector of the transistor?
the collector voltage is lowered, because the collector is essentially a current source controlled by the base emitor current
In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?
No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.
