    In which operating region does a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) function effectively as an amplifier?
    Question

    In which operating region does a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) function effectively as an amplifier?

    A.

    Active Region

    B.

    Cut-off Region

    C.

    Saturation Region

    D.

    Passive Region

    Correct option is A

    A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) functions effectively as an amplifier when operating in the Active Region. In this region, the transistor behaves as a linear device, where a small input current applied to the base terminal controls a proportionally larger current flowing between the collector and emitter terminals, thereby amplifying the signal.

    The key biasing conditions for the active region are:
    The base-emitter (B-E) junction is forward-biased.
    The collector-base (C-B) junction is reverse-biased.
