If the positive lead of a DMM, with the mode set to ohmmeter is connected to the base and the negative lead to the emitter and a high resistance reading is obtained, then what is the type of transistor that is being tested?
(a) npn
(b) pnp
(c) faulty
(d) not a transistor, it is a FET
I had been asked this question during an interview for a job.
This interesting question is from Limits of Operation in chapter BJT Biasing of Analog Circuits
