Transistor CB Mode Study Guide

This document outlines an experiment to study the input and output characteristics of an NPN transistor in common base configuration. The circuit diagram and procedure are provided to collect readings for input characteristics by varying the base-emitter voltage at different constant collector voltages and for output characteristics by varying the collector-base voltage at different constant emitter currents. Graphs will then be drawn and questions will be asked regarding transistor parameters, regions of operation, configurations, and effects.
