For the circuit given in Figure P11.46, assuming $\beta_F=100$ and $V_{B E}=0.7 \mathrm{~V}$, (a) find $V_o$ for $V_i=0.8,1.5,2.0$, and $2.5 \mathrm{~V}$. (b) At approximately what value of $V_i$ will the collector current be determined by the circuit bias conditions rather than the $\beta_F$ relationship? What mode of operation is this? (c) For $V_i=2.5 \mathrm{~V}$, what is the forced beta, $\beta_F^*$ ?
