The emitter current is always (a) greater than the base current (b) less than the collector current (c) greater than the collector current (d) Answers (a) and (c). The Bdc of a transistor is its (a) current gain (b) voltage gain (c) power gain (d) internal resistance. (vii) If Ic is 50 times IB, then Bdc is (a) 0.02, (b) 100, (c) 50, (d) 500. (viii) In cutoff, VCE is (a) 0 V, (b) minimum, (c) maximum equal to Vcc.
