In using BJT characteristic curves, the straight line drawn between the cutoff and the saturation points is called:
A)cutoff line.
B)load line.
C)saturation line.
D)operating line.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The straight line drawn between the cutoff and the saturation points on a BJT characteristic curve is known as the load line. This line represents the external circuit elements and their effect on the collector-emitter voltage and current while the transistor is operating. It is used to determine the operating point of the transistor, and any change in the load (external circuit) will cause a new load line to be drawn.
