Abstract
The forward current transfer ratio 
of a germanium bipolar transistor is reduced by the application of a magnetic field. This reduction is greatest when the magnetic vector is perpendicular to the direction of the minority carrier motion through the base region. Electronic instruments which are operated in a strong magnetic field will be adversely affected.
