With a pnp transistor,the base-emitter junction will be forward biased
A) when the emitter voltage is 0.7 V above the base voltage.
B) when the emitter voltage is 0.7 V below the base voltage.
C) when the transistor is in cut-off.
D) when the collector voltage is 0.7 V above the base voltage.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

For a pnp transistor, the base-emitter junction will be forward biased when the base voltage is more negative than the emitter voltage by at least 0.7 V. This means that the emitter voltage should be 0.7 V above the base voltage. Therefore, choice A is the correct answer.
