In an n-p-n transistor amplifier, the collector current is 8 mA . If \(80 \%\) of the electrons from the emitter reach the collector, then ( \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) are current ratios)

  1. A the base current is 20 mA .
  2. B the emitter current is 2 mA .
  3. C \(\alpha=0.8, \beta=4.0\)
  4. D \(\alpha=4 \cdot 0, \beta=0 \cdot 8\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(\alpha=0.8, \beta=4.0\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

\(\alpha = \frac{I_c}{I_e} = 0.8\) \(\beta = \frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} = \frac{0.8}{1 - 0.8} = \frac{0.8}{0.2} = 4.0\)
