enough heat to destroy the junctions, making the transistor useless. Therefore, be sure your
bias voltage polarities are correct before making any electrical connections.

2-20. NPN JUNCTION INTERACTION - We are now ready to see what happens when
we place the two junctions of the NPN transistor in operation at the same time. See Figure
2-9 for a better understanding of just how the two junctions work together.
