The collector characteristics for a certain transistor are shown in Figure P9.9.
a. Find the ratio $I_C / I_A$ for $V_{C E}=10 \mathrm{~V}$ and $I_A=100$ $\mu \mathrm{A}, 200 \mu \mathrm{~A}$, and $600 \mu \mathrm{~A}$.
b. The maximum allowable collector power dissipation is 0.5 W for $I_{\mathrm{n}}=500 \mu \mathrm{~A}$. Find $V_{C E}$.
