8.7.2 BJT Transistor Test
NPN
The NPN Type consists of two N-Regions separated by a P-Region, so we can suppose a diode
between B - C and between B - E.
Now, we can test the NPN transistor as 2 diodes. To test the first diode (B - C), we need to
connect the red probe to the anode which is the base of the transistor and connect the black probe to the
cathode which is the collector of the transistor.
