If \( \alpha \)-current gain of a transistor is \( 0.98 . \) What is the value of \( \beta \)-current gain of the transistor ?

  1. A \( 0.49 \)
  2. B (19
  3. C \( 4.9 \)
  4. D \( 55 \)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) (19

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For a transistor, \( \beta \)-current gain and \( \alpha \)-current gain are related as
\(\beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}\)
Given, \( \alpha \)-current gain \( =0.98 \)
Therefore, \( \beta=\frac{0.98}{1-0.98}=\frac{0.98}{0.02}=49 \)
\( \beta \)-current gain of transistor is \( 49 \).
