In a transistor, when the emitter current changes by 9.85 \(\mathrm{mA}\), the collector current changes to \(9.5 \mathrm{~mA}\). Then the base current is

  1. A \(0.05 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(0.85 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(0.8 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  4. D \(0.35 \mathrm{~mA}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(0.35 \mathrm{~mA}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}_E=9.85 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}=9.5 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \mathrm{I}_E=\mathrm{I}_B+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}} \end{aligned}\) Base current, \(I_B=I_E-I_C\) \(=9.85-9.5=0.35 \mathrm{~mA}\)
