Questions:
1) In BJT transistors, both type of carriers, electrons and hole contribute to total current. Can you explain why the mobility of electrons is about 2.5 times more than the mobility of holes?
2) Explain why mobility of carriers reduces for high doping concentrations?
3) Why a DC bias is needed for a transistor circuit?
4) How a DC load-line is defined for BJT transistor circuit?
5) Why waveform distortion happens in amplifier circuits?
