  • The main source of the leakage current in a transistor are thermally generated minority carrier.

consider common emitter configuration.

enter image description here

  • when the switch is open, the emitter base junction is an open circuit and so the value of input or base current is zero.

  • But a leakage current 1CEO flows between …
