  • question_answer
    In a common emitter configuration of a transistor, the voltage drop across a \[500\Omega \] resistor in the collector circuit is 0.5 V when the collector supply voltage is 5 V. If the current gain in the common base mode is 0.96, the base current is

    A) \[\frac{1}{20}\mu A\]    

    B) \[\frac{1}{5}\mu A\]

    C) \[\frac{1}{20}mA\]

    D) \[\frac{1}{24}mA\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    [d]: Here, \[{{R}_{C}}=500\Omega ,{{I}_{C}}{{R}_{C}}=0.5\text{ }V,\] \[{{V}_{CC}}=5V,\alpha =0.96\] As \[{{I}_{C}}{{R}_{C}}=0.5\text{ }V\] \[\therefore \]\[{{I}_{C}}=\frac{0.5V}{{{R}_{C}}}=\frac{0.5V}{500\Omega }=1\times {{10}^{-3}}A=1mA\] The current gains\[\alpha \]and \[\beta \]are related as \[\beta =\frac{\alpha }{1-\alpha }=\frac{0.96}{1-0.96}=24\] The base current is\[{{I}_{B}}=\frac{{{I}_{C}}}{\beta }=\frac{1mA}{24}=\frac{1}{24}mA\]
