A transistor is connected in CE configuration. The collector supply is \(10 \mathrm{~V}\) and the voltage drop across a resistor of \(1000 \Omega\) in the collector circuit is \(0.5 \mathrm{~V}\). If the current gain factor is 0.96 , then the base current is

  1. A \(15 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(25_6 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  3. C \(20.8 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  4. D \(22.5 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(20.8 \mu \mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

The collector current \(I_C\) is determined by the voltage drop across the collector resistor \(R_C = 1000 \Omega\). Given the voltage drop \(V_R = 0.5 \mathrm{~V}\), we have \(I_C = \dfrac{V_R}{R_C} = \dfrac{0.5}{1000} = 0.5 \times 10^{-3} \mathrm{~A} = 500 \mu \mathrm{A}\).…
