A
Dark current
B
Collector current
C
Emitter current
D
None of these
Solution:
  • When the phototransistor is placed in the dark and a voltage is applied from collector to emitter, a certain amount of current will flow.
  • This current is called the dark current (ID).
  • This current consists of the leakage current of the collector-base junction multiplied by the dc current gain of the transistor.
