MCQ
A transistor is connected in common emitter $(CE)$ configuration. The collector supply is $8$  $V$ and the voltage drop across a resistor of $800$ $\Omega$ in the collector circuit is $0.5$  $V$. If the current gain factor $\alpha$  is $0.96$, find the base current......$μA$
  • A
    $48$ 
  • B
    $44$  
  • $26$ 
  • D
    $15$ 

Answer

Correct option: C.
$26$ 
c
We know that

$\beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}=\frac{0.96}{1-0.96}=24$

The collector current $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}$ is given by

$\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}=\frac{\mathrm{V}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\mathrm{R}}=\frac{0.5}{800}=0.625 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{A}$

Further $\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}=\frac{\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\beta}=\frac{0.625 \times 10^{-3}}{24}$

$=26 \times 10^{-6} \mathrm{A}=26\, \mu \mathrm{A}$
