Hello,
I am trying to learn about bipolar junction transistor, and i was trying to understand the case in which the emitor and the base are shortened.
I understand that in this case, the transistor acts as a diode, but when i try to calculate the current that flows through the diode, i get 2 different equations' depending on whether i calculate the collector current or the emitor current. can someone please shed some light on this issue?
thank you very much in advance'
