2) Match the operating state name to the correct operating state description.
A. Active
B. Cutoff
C. Saturation
Match letter Operating State Description
In this region the collector and emitter diodes are both conducting. IC reaches a maximum value and VCE is approximately zero
Sometimes called the linear region. The emitter diode is forward-biased, the collector diode is reverse-biased. The collector current is approximately equal to the emitter current and base current is much smaller that either the emitter or collector current.
In this region neither the collector or emitter diodes are conducting. IC is approximately zero and VCE equals VCC
