Questions tagged [pnp]
A type of bipolar transistor comprised of p-type semiconductor in contact with n-type semiconductor which in turn is in contact with a p-type semiconductor -> thus PNP. The transistor has three terminals, the Emitter, Base and the Collector. Current injected into the base controls the flow of current from Emitter to Collector enabling amplification and switching.

Voltage drop across a PNP transistor
I’m confusing about voltage drop between emitter and collector of the transistor. Assuming the forward voltage drop is 0.7 V, why is voltage at the base 13.8 instead of 14.3 V?
