CBSEENPH12040204

In the CB mode of a transistor, when the collector voltage is changed by 0.5 volt, the collector current changes by 0.05 mA. The output resistance will be

  • 10 kΩ

  • 20 kΩ

  • 5 kΩ

  • 2.5 kΩ

Solution

A.

10 kΩ

Here: ΔVc = 0.5 volt

ΔI=0.05 mA=0.05×10-3 

Output resistance is defined as the ratio of change in output voltage or collector voltage (VCB) to the corresponding change in output current or collector current (IC), with the input current or emitter current (IE) kept at constant.

Output resistance is given byRout =VcIc=0.50.05×10-3        =104 Ω =10
