In a transistor, the emitter-base junction is forward-biased.
For a transistor to function properly as an amplifier, the emitter-base junction needs to be forward-biased, allowing current to flow from the emitter to the base.
If two metallic conductors have the same resistivity, they can be differentiated based on their temperature coefficient.
The temperature coefficient of resistivity indicates how much the resistivity of a material changes with a temperature change.
Materials with the same resistivity can have different temperature coefficients, meaning their resistance will change differently as temperature changes.
The negative gradient of electric potential is called Electric field intensity.
Gradient:
In general, a gradient represents the rate of change of a function for a given variable.
In the context of electric fields, the gradient of electric potential indicates how quickly the potential changes as you move in a particular direction.
Negative gradient:
The "negative" part signifies that the electric field points in the direction of decreasing potential.
