The Ebers-Moll model of a BJT is valid

1. only in active mode
2. only in active and saturation modes
3. only in active and cut-off modes
4. in active, saturation and cut-off modes

Correct answer: in active, saturation and cut-off modes

Solution

The Ebers-Moll model describes the behavior of a BJT across all three key operating regions: active, saturation, and cut-off, allowing for a comprehensive understanding of its performance in various states.
