A transistor is connected in \(\mathrm{CE}\) 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 \(25 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(20.8 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  3. C \(22.5 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  4. D \(15 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

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

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Current gain factor, \(\alpha=0.96\) \(R=1000 \Omega\), Voltage drop across collector resistor \(=0.5 \mathrm{~V}\) \(\therefore \quad \beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}=\frac{0.96}{1-0.96}=24\) \(\therefore\) Collector current,…
