For a given transistor amplifier circuit in \(CE\) configuration \(V_{C C}=1 V , R_c=1 k \Omega, R_b=100 k \Omega\) and \(\beta=100\). Value of base current \(I_b\) is

Pick an option to check your answer.
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(D) \(I _{ b }=10\,\mu A\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
Considering the transistor in saturation mode
\(V _{ CE }=0\)
Using KVL
\(-I_c R_c+V_{c c}=0\)
\(I_c=\frac{V_{ cC }}{R_c}=\frac{1}{1 \times 10^3}\)
\(I_c=10^{-3}\,A\)
\(\beta=\frac{I_c}{I_b}\)
\(I_b=\frac{10^{-3}}{100} \Rightarrow 10^{-5}\,A \Rightarrow I_b=10\,\mu A\)
