Given an npn BJT operating in active region, if $V_{BE} = 0.65$ V and $V_{CB} = 8.2$ V, $I_E = 4$ mA and $I_C/I_B = 100$, compute: (a) $I_B$; (b) $I_C$; (c) $V_{CE}$; (d) total power dissipated by the transistor.

Step 1
- Given: V_BE = 0.65 V, V_CB = 8.2 V, I_E = 4.00 mA, β = I_C/I_B = 100. - Take the emitter as reference (V_E = 0 V), so V_B = V_BE and V_C = V_CB + V_B. Show more…

In a PNP transistor working as a common-base amplifier, current gain is 0.96 and emitter current is 7.2 mA. The base current is (a) 0.4 mA (b) 0.2 mA (c) 0.29 mA (d) 0.35 mA

A transistor operating in a common base configuration has forward current gain factor, $\alpha=0.99 .$ If the emitter current changes by $1 \mathrm{~mA}$, then the changes in the base current will be : (a) $100 \mathrm{~mA}$ (b) $0.01 \mathrm{~mA}$ (c) $0.99 \mathrm{~mA}$ (d) $99 \mathrm{~mA}$
