    For a transistor \[{{I}_{E}}=25\,\,mA\] and \[{{I}_{B}}=1\,\,mA\], the value of current gain \[\alpha \] will be:

    A) \[\frac{25}{24}\]                                              

    B) \[\frac{24}{25}\]

    C) \[\frac{25}{26}\]                                              

    D) \[\frac{26}{25}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

    Key Idea: Emitter current is sum of base current and collector current. The current gain \[(\alpha )\] for a transistor is given by                 \[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{I}_{C}}}{\Delta {{I}_{E}}}\]                                           ... (i) Also\[,\]               \[\Delta {{I}_{E}}=\Delta {{I}_{C}}+\Delta {{I}_{B}}\]                         ?. (ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get                 \[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{I}_{E}}-\Delta {{I}_{B}}}{\Delta {{I}_{E}}}\] Given,\[\Delta {{I}_{E}}=25\,\,mA,\,\,\Delta {{I}_{B}}=1\,\,mA\] \[\therefore \]  \[\alpha =\frac{25-1}{25}=\frac{24}{25}\] Note: Current gain \[(\alpha )\] is usually less than one, hence, options  and  cannot be correct.
