The transfer ratio B of a transistor is 50. The input resistance of the transistor when used in the common emitter configuration is 2 kΩ. The peak value of the collector AC current for an AC input voltage of 0.02 V peak is
200 μA
0.01 mA
0.25 mA
500 μA
D.
500 μA
Given:-
β = 50,
R = 2 kΩ = 2 x 103 Ω
ΔVb = 0.02 V
ic = ?
Input current,
ib =
=
ib = 10-5 A
Also, current gain is the ratio of collector current to the base current.
β =
∴ ic = β ib
= 50× 10-5 A
ic = 500 × 10-6 A
ic = 500 μA
