This article lists 100 Transistor Biasing MCQs for engineering students. All the Transistor Biasing Questions & Answers given below includes solution and link wherever possible to the relevant topic.

Transistor's most common application is to perform amplification as the time-varying signals applied at the input terminals get amplified based on the external DC voltages applied.

To achieve amplification, the transistor's input junction must be forward-biased and the junction at the output must be reversely biased. Faithful amplification's purpose is to achieve the signals with an increase in magnitude and without altering the shape of the signal.

The process of applying external voltages at the junctions of the transistor is known as bias. This biasing makes the transistors operate in the required region.
