In a PNP germanium transistor, the cut in voltage is about_________(a) -0.1V(b) -0.01V(c) -0.05V(d) -0.07VThis question was addressed to me in exam.Asked question is from The Transistor as an Amplifier topic in section Transistor Characteristics of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer»

The correct answer is (a) -0.1V

Easiest EXPLANATION: The cut in VOLTAGE of germanium is lower than that of SILICON. If both germanium and silicon are in parallel, GE starts conducting EARLIER and stops silicon from conducting.
