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

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