  1. A \(6 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  2. B \(60 \mathrm{~mA}\)
  3. C \(6 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
  4. D \(60 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(D) \(60 \mu \mathrm{A}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\frac{i_{c}}{i_{c}}=0.98 \quad i_{c}=3 \mathrm{~mA} \quad i_{b}=?\)
\(\frac{i_{c}}{i_{c}+i_{b}}=0.98=\frac{98}{100} \Rightarrow \frac{i_{c}+i_{b}}{i_{c}}=\frac{100}{98}\)
\(1+\frac{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{b}}}{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{c}}}=\frac{100}{98} \quad \therefore \frac{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{b}}}{\mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{c}}}=\frac{2}{98} \quad \therefore \mathrm{i}_{\mathrm{b}}=3 \times \frac{2}{98}\) \(=\frac{3}{49} \mathrm{~mA}\)
\(=\frac{3000}{49} \mu \mathrm{A}=61.22 \mu \mathrm{A} \approx 60 \mu \mathrm{A}\)
