How to calculate BJT electron flow

Click For Summary
To calculate the number of electrons flowing through a BJT when a forward bias is applied, one must consider the current and the time duration of the flow. The term "Base" is used instead of "Gate" in BJTs. A recommended resource for understanding the theory and modeling of BJTs is the Wikipedia article on bipolar junction transistors, specifically the "Theory and modelling" section. Additionally, for a more in-depth analysis, the book "Semiconductor Device Modeling with Spice" by Paolo Antognetti and Giuseppe Massobrio is suggested. Understanding these concepts will aid in accurately determining electron flow in BJTs.

Hello
How should i calculate number of electrons passing through it
when we apply some gate voltage across it

Is this the article from which you got that image ?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bipolar_junction_transistor

Section "Theory and modelling" addresses your question.

in BJT's we call it "Base" not "Gate".

That article should get you started.

Train your search engine. It wants to help you.

Wouldn't you need the amount of time over which the electrons are flowing? Maybe you mean "number of electrons/second"?

Hello
I want to count the number of electron that can flow from it at forward bias of bjt
 

Thread 'Electric power distribution from powerplant to homes'

I am trying to understand how transferring electric from the powerplant to my house is more effective using high voltage. The suggested explanation that the current is equal to the power supply divided by the voltage, and hence higher voltage leads to lower current and as a result to a lower power loss on the conductives is very confusing me. I know that the current is determined by the voltage and the resistance, and not by a power capability - which defines a limit to the allowable...
