1.	What is leakage current? Mention different types of leakage currents.
Answer» Leakage current is current through a device due to the motion of minority charge carriers under reverse bias conditions. Different leakage currents are: (i) Collector to base leakage current with emitter open (I_CBO). (ii) Collector to emitter leakage current with base open (1_CEO).

Answer»

Leakage current is current through a device due to the motion of minority charge carriers under reverse bias conditions.

Different leakage currents are:

(i) Collector to base leakage current with emitter open (I_CBO).

(ii) Collector to emitter leakage current with base open (1_CEO).
