    Amplification factor of a triode is 10. When the plate potential is 200 volt and grid potential is ? 4 volt, then the plate current of 4mA is observed. If plate potential is changed to 160 volt and grid potential is kept at ? 7 volt, then the plate current will be

    A)            1.69 mA                                  

    B)            3.95 mA

    C)            2.87                                          

    D)            7.02 mA

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

                       \[{{i}_{p}}=k{{({{V}_{p}}+\mu {{V}_{g}})}^{3/2}}mA\] Þ 4 = k(200 ? 10 ´ 4)3/2 = k ´ (160)3/2       ?.(i) and \[{{i}_{p}}=k{{(160-10\times 7)}^{3/2}}=k\times {{(90)}^{3/2}}\]       ?.(ii) From equation (i) and (ii) we get \[{{i}_{p}}=4\times {{\left( \frac{90}{160} \right)}^{3/2}}=4\times {{\left( \frac{3}{4} \right)}^{3}}=1.69\,mA\]
