What is the difference between NPN and PNP bipolar transistor?

principle carriers in npn and pnp transistor

npn versus pnp

Mobility of holes is less than that of electrons .
So, NPN is faster than PNP

npn vs pnp transistors

Mobility of holes is less than that of electrons .
So, NPN is faster than PNP

I read it somewhere,
but ... a hole is some empty space (lack of electrons in a grid), where "normally" electron resides... and their moevement is nothing else but movement of electrons.... so how can there be a difference??

i read it too. the explanation is also on that forum. in a phsicist's point of view, holes don't really move.

here's the link

thanks for the link... I meant I read it in some ... "old dusty book" ...

anyway according to Dirac's theory of what are the holes ... how is it possible that holes are slower (or anyhow different in sense of movement)?

pnp vs npn

Thanks to all for the wonderful answers given... really helped me..

difference pnp and npn

i think the effective mass is a factor

pnp and npn in electronics in wikipedia

best book is Electronic circuit analysis & design by Donald A Neamen

 

[sarafcina]

pnp signal wikipedia

best book is Electronic circuit analysis & design by Donald A Neamen

what does it say... which is best npn or pnp

 

[Awarapunshee]

what is npn and pnp?

NPN is fabricated most

npn v pnp

best book is Electronic circuit analysis & design by Donald A Neamen

what does it say... which is best npn or pnp

npn is best because current is flow due to electron as electron mobility is getter than hole.

pnp npn simple explanation

i meant refering the book........

 

[hcsneu]

profile difference in pnp and npn

u can use wikipedia.org to make comparisation.

 

[forkschgrad]

pnp vs. npn transistors

it's good to read wikipedia bu sometimes it's needed to read here because the idea came from different persons. wether engineers or physicists.

 

[bhatt_tanmay]

pnp or npn

u can refer any basic electronics book.

 

[Awarapunshee]

pnp npn differenc

u can refer any basic electronics book.

Basic Electronics by Bernard Grob and then Electronics Principle by Albert Paul Malvino

differences + pnp and npn

I think U want the difference in the application for each one ?

 

[Electronica]

pnp vs npn transistor

in NPN majority carriers are electrons whereas in PNP the majority carriers are holes

 

[electronics_kumar]

npn pnp transistors

Mobility of holes is less than that of electrons .
So, NPN is faster than PNP

mobility of electrons is nine times faster than holes...Hence NPN is prevalant than PNP
