Exp 1 Transistor As Switch

The document outlines an experiment to set up a transistor switch and observe its performance, focusing on the dc conditions of normally ON and normally OFF switches. It explains the principle of a transistor functioning as a switch in saturation and cut-off regions, and provides a procedure for testing components and measuring voltage conditions. Observations and results are to be recorded during the experiment.

TRANSISTOR AS SWITCH

AIM
Set up a transistor switch and observe its performance.
OBJECTIVES
On completion of the experiment students will be able to
 Check the dc condition of normally ON switch and normally OFF
switch.
EQUIPMENTS / COMPONENTS

PRINCIPLE
Transistor can function as a switch and provide output voltage level either
high or low. When a transistor is used as a switch, it operates in two regions
known as saturation and cut off. When transistor is in saturation, the voltage at
the collector will be very low (Vce sat). This is called ON state.(Ic is
maximum). If the transistor is biased to cut off, the output voltage at the
collector will be high (Vcc). This is called OFF state(Ic = 0). CE configuration
is most suitable for a transistor switch because the current and voltage needed to
the input switching signal are very small.
Normally OFF Transistor switch :
Here the base resistor is not connected to VCC. At this time Vbe = 0,
Vce=Vcc. For an NPN transistor a positive voltage at the base will switch the
transistor into saturation state.

PROCEDURE
1) Test the components.
2) Assemble the circuit on a breadboard.
3) Measure the dc condition that is VBE and VCE using multimeter and
verify the transistor is in ON condition.
