10. To simplify the understanding, a bipolar transistor can be viewed as two diodes facing each other in NPN and with their backs to each other in PNP transistors. NPN (Negative Positive Negative) PNP (Positive Negative Positive)
13. R R R base-collector base-emitter NPN emitter-collector
14. The first and second tests are diode tests of front and back resistances. The third is leakages current test and should indicate high resistance in a good transistor. forward reverse leakage current C B E E B C E B C
