Meaning

The electrode in a transistor where electrons originate.

Classification

Nouns denoting man-made objects.

Examples

  • The base-emitter junction in the transistor allowed current to flow when the voltage was applied.
  • In a bipolar junction transistor, the emitter is the region that supplies charge carriers to the base.
  • The emitter electrode was heavily doped to increase the transistor's current gain.
  • In the PNP transistor, the emitter was made of p-type semiconductor material.
  • The emitter-base junction was reverse-biased to allow the transistor to function as an amplifier.
