Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a bipolar junction transistor, when the base current increases, the transistor enters into its active region of operation, which is characterized by a linear relationship between the base current and the collector current. As a result, the collector current increases along with the base current. Moreover, since the emitter current is the sum of base and collector currents, it also increases. Hence, choice B is correct.

If the Base Current Increases, ________
