For a common-emitter transistor amplifier, the current gain is 60 . If the emitter current is \(6.6 \mathrm{~mA}\), then its base current is

  1. A \(6.492 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(0.108 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(4.208 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  4. D \(0.343 \mathrm{~mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(0.108 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\begin{aligned} & \text { Using } l_{\mathrm{E}}=l_{\mathrm{B}}+l_{\mathrm{C}} \\ & \Rightarrow l_{\mathrm{B}}=l_{\mathrm{E}}-l_{\mathrm{C}} \\ & =6.6 \times 10^{-3}-60 l_{\mathrm{B}} \\ & \Rightarrow \quad l_{\mathrm{B}}+60 l_{\mathrm{B}}=6.6 \times 10^{-3} \\ & \text { or }…
