One way in which the operation of a n-p-n transistor differs from that of a p-n-p
The emitter junction injects minority carriers into the base region of the p-n-p
The emitter injects holes into the base of the p-n-p and electrons into the base region of n-p-n
The emitter injects holes into the base of n-p-n
The emitter junction is reversed biased in n-p-n
The emitter injects electrons into the base region of the n-p-n transistor and holes into the base region of p-n-p transistor.
