Storage time of a transistor changes

Click For Summary
The storage time of a transistor is influenced by the position of resistors connected to its base voltage. When the resistor was moved to ground, the storage time increased due to changes in minority carrier concentration near the pn junction. This phenomenon occurs because the resistor's position affects the transistor's charge and discharge characteristics. Clarification on the term "storage time" was requested, as it is not commonly used in standard terminology. Understanding these electrical principles is crucial for effective transistor operation.

:rolleyes: hi,
could anyone pls tell me why the storage time of a transistor changes as u change the position of one resistor?
During an experiment, when the resistor connected to the base voltage was reconnected to the ground i noticed that the storage time increased. pls someone explain to me why.
thanks!

(i'd appreciate multiple answers, so pls if smne has answered, pls feel free to drop your own answers too.)

I'm not sure what you mean by "storage time," as this is not a parameter I've ever heard of. Can you please try describing your question in more standard terminology?

the storage time is the time needed for minority carrier concentration in the vincinity of pn junction to be reduced to zero
 

Thread 'Magnitude of buoyant force in fluids of different densities'

The book claims the answer is that all the magnitudes are the same because "the gravitational force on the penguin is the same". I'm having trouble understanding this. I thought the buoyant force was equal to the weight of the fluid displaced. Weight depends on mass which depends on density. Therefore, due to the differing densities the buoyant force will be different in each case? Is this incorrect?
