Transistors are semiconductor devices with three terminals - collector, base, and emitter. There are two main types, NPN and PNP, which differ in the doping of the semiconductor regions. Bipolar transistors can operate as amplifiers, switches, or oscillators depending on the biasing conditions. The common emitter configuration provides voltage gain but inverts the phase, while common base and common collector configurations do not invert phase. Transistor gain is determined by factors like current gain (beta) and varies based on operating point and temperature.

A Visual Guide to 1 Samuel | A Tale of Two HeartsSteve Thomason
These slides walk through the story of 1 Samuel. Samuel is the last judge of Israel. The people reject God and want a king. Saul is anointed as the first king, but he is not a good king. David, the shepherd boy is anointed and Saul is envious of him. David shows honor while Saul continues to self destruct.

This document provides an overview of wound healing, its functions, stages, mechanisms, factors affecting it, and complications.
A wound is a break in the integrity of the skin or tissues, which may be associated with disruption of the structure and function.
Healing is the body’s response to injury in an attempt to restore normal structure and functions.
Healing can occur in two ways: Regeneration and Repair
There are 4 phases of wound healing: hemostasis, inflammation, proliferation, and remodeling. This document also describes the mechanism of wound healing. Factors that affect healing include infection, uncontrolled diabetes, poor nutrition, age, anemia, the presence of foreign bodies, etc.
Complications of wound healing like infection, hyperpigmentation of scar, contractures, and keloid formation.

THE SACRIFICE HOW PRO-PALESTINE PROTESTS STUDENTS ARE SACRIFICING TO CHANGE T...indexPub
The recent surge in pro-Palestine student activism has prompted significant responses from universities, ranging from negotiations and divestment commitments to increased transparency about investments in companies supporting the war on Gaza. This activism has led to the cessation of student encampments but also highlighted the substantial sacrifices made by students, including academic disruptions and personal risks. The primary drivers of these protests are poor university administration, lack of transparency, and inadequate communication between officials and students. This study examines the profound emotional, psychological, and professional impacts on students engaged in pro-Palestine protests, focusing on Generation Z's (Gen-Z) activism dynamics. This paper explores the significant sacrifices made by these students and even the professors supporting the pro-Palestine movement, with a focus on recent global movements. Through an in-depth analysis of printed and electronic media, the study examines the impacts of these sacrifices on the academic and personal lives of those involved. The paper highlights examples from various universities, demonstrating student activism's long-term and short-term effects, including disciplinary actions, social backlash, and career implications. The researchers also explore the broader implications of student sacrifices. The findings reveal that these sacrifices are driven by a profound commitment to justice and human rights, and are influenced by the increasing availability of information, peer interactions, and personal convictions. The study also discusses the broader implications of this activism, comparing it to historical precedents and assessing its potential to influence policy and public opinion. The emotional and psychological toll on student activists is significant, but their sense of purpose and community support mitigates some of these challenges. However, the researchers call for acknowledging the broader Impact of these sacrifices on the future global movement of FreePalestine.

Transistors
•They are unidirectional current carrying devices with capability to
control the current flowing through them
• The switch current can be controlled by either current or voltage
• Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJT) control current by current
• Field Effect Transistors (FET) control current by voltage
•They can be used either as switches or as amplifiers
admission.edhole.com
6. 6
BJT α and β
•From the previous figure iE = iB + iC
•Define α = iC / iE
•Define β = iC / iB
•Then β = iC / (iE –iC) = α /(1- α)
•Then iC = α iE ; iB = (1-α) iE
•Typically β ≈ 100 for small signal BJTs (BJTs that
handle low power) operating in active region (region
where BJTs work as amplifiers)admission.edhole.com

•Base Emitter junction is forward biased
•Base Collector junction is reverse biased
•For a particular iB, iC is independent of RCC

Early Effect and Early Voltage
• As reverse-bias across collector-base junction increases, width of the
collector-base depletion layer increases and width of the base decreases
(base-width modulation).
• In a practical BJT, output characteristics have a positive slope in forward-
active region; collector current is not independent of vCE.
• Early effect: When output characteristics are extrapolated back to point of
zero iC, curves intersect (approximately) at a common point vCE = -VA which
lies between 15 V and 150 V. (VA is named the Early voltage)
• Simplified equations (including Early effect):

By Applying KVL to the base emitter circuit
Then IC = βIB= 400*40 µA = 16000 µA
and VCE = VCC-RCC* IC =10- 0.016*1000 = -6V(?)
But VCE cannot become negative (since current can flow only
from collector to emitter).
Hence the transistor is in saturation

BJT in Saturation Region – Example 3(2)
Hence VCE ≈ 0.2V
∴IC = (10 –0.2) /1 = 9.8 mA

BJT ‘Q’ Point (Bias Point)
•Q point means Quiescent or Operating point
• Very important for amplifiers because wrong ‘Q’ point
selection increases amplifier distortion
•Need to have a stable ‘Q’ point, meaning the the operating
point should not be sensitive to variation to temperature or
BJT β, which can vary widely

Four-Resistor Bias Network for BJT:
Design Objectives
• We know that
• This implies that IB << I2, so that I1 = I2. So base current doesn’t disturb
voltage divider action. Thus, Q-point is independent of base current as
well as current gain.
• Also, VEQ is designed to be large enough that small variations in the
assumed value of VBE won’t affect IE.
• Current in base voltage divider network is limited by choosing I2 ≤ IC/5.
This ensures that power dissipation in bias resistors is < 17 % of total
quiescent power consumed by circuit and I2 >> IB for β > 50.
