How does a PNP transistor appear to an ohmmeter?

What will be an ideal response?


A PNP transistor will appear to an ohmmeter to be two diodes with their cathodes connected. If the negative lead of the ohmmeter is connected to the base of the transistor, a diode junction should be seen between the base-collector and the base-emitter. If the positive ohmmeter lead is connected to the base, there should be no continuity between the base-collector or the base-emitter.
