Question:

Let $i_E, i_C$ and $i_B$ represent the emitter current, collector current and the base current respectively in a transistor. Choose the correct statement from the following.

Options:

$i_C$ is slightly greater than $i_E$

$i_B$ is much greater than $i_E$

$i_C$ is equal to $i_B$

$i_E$ is equal to the sum of $i_C$ and $i_B$

Correct Answer:

$i_E$ is equal to the sum of $i_C$ and $i_B$

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (4) → $i_E$ is equal to the sum of $i_C$ and $i_B$
