    The current gain of a transistor in common emitter mode is 49. The change in collector current and emitter current corresponding to the change in base current by \[5.0\,\mu A\] are:

    A) \[\Delta iC=245\,\mu A,\]\[\Delta {{i}_{E}}=250\,\mu A\]

    B)        \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=252\,\mu A,\,\]\[\,\Delta {{i}_{E}}=145\mu A\]

    C)        \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=125\,\mu A,\,\]\[\Delta {{i}_{E}}=250\mu A\]

    D)        \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=252\,\mu A,\]\[\Delta {{i}_{E}}=230\mu A\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    Current gain in common emitter mode of transistor \[\beta =\frac{\Delta {{i}_{C}}}{\Delta {{i}_{B}}}\]                 or            \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=\beta \Delta {{i}_{B}}\]                 Given,   \[\beta =49\Delta {{i}_{B}}=5.0\mu A\]                                 \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=49\times 5.0=245\mu A\] For a transistor, emitter current is the sum of base current and collector current.                 i.e.,        \[{{i}_{E}}={{i}_{C}}+{{i}_{B}}\]                 \[\Rightarrow \]               \[\Delta {{i}_{E}}=\Delta {{i}_{C}}+\Delta {{i}_{B}}\]                 \[\therefore \]  \[\Delta {{i}_{E}}=245+5.0=250\mu A\]
