In a transistor, if the collector current is \(98 \%\) of emitter current, then the ratio of the base and collector currents is

  1. A \(1: 98\)
  2. B \(1: 1\)
  3. C \(1: 49\)
  4. D \(1: 99\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(1: 49\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(I_E = I_B + I_C\) \(I_C = 0.98 I_E \implies I_E = \frac{I_C}{0.98}\) \(I_B = I_E - I_C = \frac{I_C}{0.98} - I_C = I_C \left(\frac{1}{0.98} - 1\right)\) \(I_B = I_C \left(\frac{1 - 0.98}{0.98}\right) = I_C \left(\frac{0.02}{0.98}\right)\)…
