    The slopes of anode and mutual characteristics of a triode are 0.02 mA V?1 and 1 mA V?1 respectively. What is the amplification factor of the valve                         [MP PMT 1990]

    A)            5    

    B)            50

    C)            500

    D)            0.5

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       The slope of anode characteristic curve \[=\frac{1}{{{r}_{p}}}\]                                  \[\Rightarrow {{r}_{p}}=\frac{1}{0.02\,mA/V}=50\frac{V}{mA}=50\times {{10}^{3}}\frac{V}{A}\]                    The slope of mutual characteristic curve = gm = 1 ´ 10?3 A/V. \[\therefore \mu ={{r}_{p}}\times {{g}_{m}}=50\times {{10}^{3}}\times {{10}^{-3}}=50\].
