distinguished from the collector by carrying an arrow head which
also distinguishes p-n-p from n-p-n types by pointing in the direction
of (positive) current.
These aptly suggest the point-contact transistor (long obsolete and
not mentioned in this book) but are poor representations of the
bipolar transistor. However in the interests of national and
international standardisation we will use these symbols throughout
the book.
10.8 Transistor Characteristic Curves
To plot transistor curves we can use much the same set-up as for the
triode valve (Fig. 10.1) except that there is no need for cathode
heating, the supply voltages should be lowe ...
