Please electronics) summarize the or common amplification base connection, (analogue common electronics). emitter connection, common collector connection. There are two basic types of bipolar transistor construction, PNP and NPN. The Bipolar Transistor basic construction consists of two PN-junctions producing three connecting terminals. These three terminals are known and labelled as the Emitter ( E ), the Base (B ) and the Collector ( C ) respectively. Bipolar Transistors are current regulating devices that control the amount of current flowing through them in proportion to the amount of biasing voltage applied to their base terminal acting like a current-controlled switch.

There are two basic configurations of junction field effect transistor, the N- channel JFET and the P-channel JFET. The N-channel JFET s channel is doped with donor impurities meaning that the flow of current through the channel is negative (hence the term N-channel) in the form of electrons. Likewise, the P-channel JFET s channel is doped with acceptor impurities meaning that the flow of current through the channel is positive (hence the term P-channel) in the form of holes. N-channel JFET s have a greater channel conductivity (lower resistance) than their equivalent P-channel types, since electrons have a higher mobility through a conductor compared to holes. This makes the N-channel JFET s a more efficient conductor compared to their P-channel counterparts.
