Hey,
I would like help understanding this scenario:
(1) base-collector voltage, V_BC, is reverse-biased
(2) base-emitter voltage, V_BE, is forward-biased
(3) collector current, I_C, is negative
Normally, if I_C was positive, I would assume the transistor to be in the forward-active region. However, can you still consider it in the forward-active region if the collector current is negative? Does this scenario make sense?
Thanks,
Mark
