Phosphorus (P) has 15 electron i.e 2,8,5. Hence the number of electron in its outermost orbit is 5. Silicon (Si) has 14 electron i.e 2,8,4. Hence the number of electrons in its outermost orbit is 4.
Lap Winding:-In a lap winding the number of parallel paths (a) is always equal to the number of poles (p) and also to the number of brushes. In the given question number of poles is 4 hence the number of brushes will be 4. Wave Winding:- In wave windings, the number of parallel paths (a) is always two and there may be two or more brush positions.
The emitter current (IE) of a transistor has two components such as base current (IB) and collector current (IC). The base current (IB) is about 2% of the emitter current (IE), but the collector current (Ia) is about 98% of the emitter current (IE). ∴ IE > IC > IB IE = IB + IC
