Thank you for answering. That makes sense if I had physically built the circuit - I could then just let something happen, some voltages and currents will be established in the nodes, and then I can probe the base-emitter to see whether or not I am in forward active. However I don't see how it's...
Hi, I'm having some trouble determining whether or not a BJT (used in an amplifier topology for example) is in forward active, given that we don't know what the base-emitter and base-collector voltages are (we might know how they are related). My textbook likes to argue: assume it is in forward...
