Storage time of a transistor changes

AI Thread 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 'Struggling to understand the concept of this question (ice cube in water optics question)'

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...

Thread 'Variable mass system : water sprayed into a moving container'

Starting with the mass considerations #m(t)# is mass of water #M_{c}# mass of container and #M(t)# mass of total system $$M(t) = M_{C} + m(t)$$ $$\Rightarrow \frac{dM(t)}{dt} = \frac{dm(t)}{dt}$$ $$P_i = Mv + u \, dm$$ $$P_f = (M + dm)(v + dv)$$ $$\Delta P = M \, dv + (v - u) \, dm$$ $$F = \frac{dP}{dt} = M \frac{dv}{dt} + (v - u) \frac{dm}{dt}$$ $$F = u \frac{dm}{dt} = \rho A u^2$$ from conservation of momentum , the cannon recoils with the same force which it applies. $$\quad \frac{dm}{dt}...
