A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is used as a power control switch by biasing it in the cut-off region (OFF state) or in the saturation region (ON state). In the ON state, for the BJT
(A) both the base-emitter and base-collector junctions are reverse biased (B) the base-emitter junction is reverse biased, and the base-collector junction is forward biased (C) the base-emitter junction is forward biased, and the base-collector junction is reverse biased (D) both the base-emitter and base-collector junctions are forward biased
