Reverse saturation current of a common emitter transistor is __________(a) Collector current when emitter is open circuited and base-collector junction is reverse biased(b) Emitter current when collector is open circuited and base-collector junction is reverse biased(c) Base current when emitter circuit is open circuited and emitter-collector junction is reverse biased(d) Collector current when base circuit is open circuitedI have been asked this question by my college director while I was bunking the class.I would like to ask this question from Operating Point of Transistor topic in chapter Transistor Biasing and Low Frequencies of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) Collector current when emitter is open circuited and base-collector junction is reverse biased

The best I can explain: Reverse saturation current is the collector current when emitter is open circuited and base-collector junction is reverse BIAS mode. In this mode of OPERATION collector-base junction act as a reverse biased DIODE. The current in this reverse biased junction is KNOWN as reverse saturation current.
