In a CE transistor, a change of \(8.0 \mathrm{~mA}\) in the emitter current produces a change of \(7.8 \mathrm{~mA}\) in the collector current. What change in the base current is necessary to produce the same change in the collector current?

  1. A \(200 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  2. B \(50 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  3. C \(100 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  4. D \(150 \mu \mathrm{A}\)

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) \(200 \mu \mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{E}}=\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}+\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}} \)
\( \Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{E}}=8 \mathrm{~mA}, \Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}=7.8 \mathrm{~mA} \)
\( \therefore \Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{B}}=\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{E}}-\Delta \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}=8-7.8=0.2 \mathrm{~mA}\) \(=200 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
