A common emitter amplifier circuit, built using an \(npn\) transistor, is shown in the figure. Its \(dc\) current gain is \(250\), \(R_C = 1\,k\, \Omega \) and \(V_{CC} = 10\,V\). What is the minimum base current for \(V_{CE}\) to reach saturation?.........\(\mu A\)

  1. A \(7\)
  2. B \(40\)
  3. C \(10\)
  4. D \(100\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) \(40\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

At saturation state, \(V_{CE}\) becomes zero \(\Rightarrow \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{C}}\) \(=\frac{10 \mathrm{V}}{1000 \Omega}=10 \mathrm{mA}\) Now current gain factor \(\beta=\frac{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{C}}}{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{B}}}\)…
