JEE Main & Advanced Physics Semiconducting Devices Question Bank Junction Transistor

  • question_answer
    Consider an NPN transistor amplifier in common-emitter configuration. The current gain of the transistor is 100. If the collector current changes by 1 mA, what will be the change in emitter current                                    [AIIMS 2005]

    A)            1.1 mA                                    

    B)            1.01 mA

    C)            0.01 mA                                  

    D)            10 mA

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

                       Current gain\[\beta =\frac{\Delta {{i}_{c}}}{\Delta {{i}_{b}}}\]\[\Rightarrow \Delta {{i}_{b}}=\frac{1\times {{10}^{-3}}}{100}={{10}^{-5}}A\]=0.01mA.                    By using \[\Delta {{i}_{e}}=\Delta {{i}_{b}}+\Delta {{i}_{c}}\]\[\Rightarrow \Delta {{i}_{e}}\]= 1.01 + 1 = 1.01mA.
