What is Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT)?

Bipolar Junction Transistor is a 3 terminal semiconductor device that can be used as a switch or as an amplifier in electronic circuits.
The reason it is known as bipolar is because there is a flow of current in BJT due to two types of charges (unlike FET)
Holes and Electrons

Construction of BJT:

The BJT consist of the three doped regions. The three regions of the BJT are known as Emitter, Base, and Collector.

And based on the doping of the three regions, it is known as either NPN or PNP transistor.

In BJT, the emitter is heavily doped, Base is lightly doped and the collector is moderately doped.

The width of the base region is much smaller than the other two regions.

The job of the emitter region is to supply the electrons (that's why it is known as the emitter)

While the collector region collects the electrons supplied by the emitter.

Different Regions of Operation of BJT:

The BJT can be operated in the following regions:

1) Active Mode (BE Junction is Forward Biased, CB junction is reverse biased)
2) Cut-off Mode (Both BE and BC junctions are reverse biased)
3) Saturation Mode ( Both BE and BC junctions are forward-biased )
4) Reverse Active Mode (BE junction is reverse biased, BC junction is forward biased)

Different operating Configurations of BJT

When BJT is used as an amplifier, it can be configured in the following configurations:
1) Common Emitter (CE ) Configuration
2) Common Base (CB) Configuration
3) Common Collector (CC) Configuration

And at the end of the video, the working of the BJT in the active region has been explained and the relationship between the different BJT current has been established.

In this video, the basics of the BJT is explained. By watching this video, you will learn the different configurations, different types of BJT, symbols of BJT, working of BJT and different current and their relation in BJT.

This video will be helpful to everyone in understanding the basic of Bipolar Junction Transistor (BJT).

Bro it was excellent! The channel deserves huge success! One day all Electronics students follow your videos! And you deserve it 🙏

[priyanshukasaudhan]

Best channel on youtube, specially short notes in the descriptions are so helpful

[pwalterjerome]

awesome video i didn't understand anything in lecture but now my concepts are crystal clear and amplified as a transistor in active region.
keep doing this good job.
your channel deserves huge appreciation

[deekshas]

Thanks a lotttt!!! I hadn't understood how amplification takes place in college lecture and therefore I couldn't follow the concepts that came afterwards, but now I understand it clearly. Will surely watch the other BJT videos. Keep up the good work!

[nomanhassan]

Insahallah sir you will be the top electronic teacher on YouTube in a fucture

[teammadmax]

감사합니다 최고의 BJT 강의 입니다. 전자회로에 입문하면서 하나하나 생소한 개념이 많아 원서를 독학하는 것이 버거 웠었는데 이 영상을 보고 트랜지스터가 어떻게 작동하는지 잘 알게 되었씁니다 다른영상도 찾아볼게요!~!

[masautsophiri]

my doc's explanation in class sucked, now everything is cleared up. keep up man with the good work.

[jhban]

I was so lost when this was explained to me in class. Thank you for making such a clear and concise video.

[i_am_anchal]

No one writes the notes in the description except you....thank you sir

[mcbotface]

Thank you for uploading this video as requested.

Thank you !! 😍😍

[yiningwang]

Thank you so much! You really know how to explain BJT clearer than my professor

[ianespinosa]

Thank you for posting this. I am an EE student at CalState Long Beach and the EE department there is terrible, especially for the electronics concentration. I think I learned more form this video than I did from the utterly useless professors that teach it at CalState.

[jyothiswaroopsantu]

Excellent explanation. BJT is always a topic of confusion for me and these videos just simplified it a lot for me

[smittyflufferson]

Transistors are tough. This video was a great introduction to some of the essentials

[vladododerovic]

Your explanation made everything so easy to understand! Thank you so much!

[manojmaahi]

Thank you bro for your wonderful talent on uploading the best electronics videos.I visit many channels, but this was the best of all them.keep on uploading bro😘

[abhinavsinghal]

wow. awesome ! just awesome. explained in a very good manner. easy to understand. thank you very much for uploading this video sir. 6 stars out of 5. (star amplification :)

[MuhammadFaizan-brcr]

Thanks a lot brother. You really made BJT easy to learn for me.... ! Keep up the good work!

[NithyasreeAddagalla]

So so so thanks to you that I now finally lost the fear of writing beee exam to my sem.thankyou so much❤❤
