In the following common emitter circuit, β=100 and VCE=7 V. If VBE is negligible, then the base current is

  1. A 0.01 mA
  2. B 0.04 mA
  3. C 0.02 mA
  4. D 0.03 mA
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 0.04 mA

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The figure below represents the common emitter circuit, Apply Kirchhoff law, -15+2IC+VCE=0 -15+2Ic+7=0 IC=4 mA The common emitter gain is, β=ICIB 100=4×10-3IB IB=0.04 mA
