Step 1
The formula to calculate the collector current is: IC = β * IB Given that β = 150 and IB = 33.2 μA, we can substitute these values into the formula: IC = 150 * 33.2 μA Now, let's convert the base current from microamps (μA) to milliamps (mA): 33.2 μA = 33.2 * Show more…

The electron and hole currents inside a pnp BJT biased in the active mode are plotted in the figure below. All the currents are referenced to I1, the hole current injected into the base. Determine: (a) The emitter efficiency (y) (b) The base transport factor (αT) (c) The common emitter d.c. current gain (βdc) (d) The base current (IB) (e) For the given transistor, is the recombination-generation current arising from the depletion region negligible as assumed in the ideal transistor analysis? Explain.
