Explanation of Solution

Transistors are classified on the basis of the majority charge carriers present in the parts of the transistor. The three parts of transistor are emitter, collector and base. The base situated between collector and emitter. If the collector has majority charge carriers as electrons, base has holes and emitter has electrons as majority charge carriers then such a transistor is named as NPN transistor.

If the majority charge carriers in collector and emitter are holes and majority charge carriers in base are electrons, such a transistor is named as PNP transistor. According to the usage of P-type or N-type semiconductor in emitter, collector and base, transistor is classified as NPN or PNP transistors. Therefore, NPN transistors and PNP transistors are the two fundamental types of transistors.

a) Determine state of stress at all points (a, b and c). These points are located on the exteriorsurface of the beam. Point a is located along the centreline of the beam, point b is 15mmfrom the centreline and point c is located on the edge of the beam. Present yourresults in a table and ensure that your sign convention is clearly shownb) Construct Mohrs circle at this point andcalculate the principal stresses and maximum in‐plane shear stress (τmax) at pointc. sketch the resulting state of stress at this point clearly indicating themagnitude of the stresses and any angles associated with the state of stress (principal ormaximum in‐plane shear).
