In the circuit shown in figure, when the input voltage of the base resistance is 10 V, Vb, is zero and Vce is also zero. Value of β is

  • 133

  • 154

  • 196

  • 105

Solution

A.

133

   

Given:- 

      Vi = 10 V

      Rb = 400 kΩ

           = 400 × 103 Ω

    Rc = 3 kΩ = 3 × 103 Ω

      Vbe = 0

      Vce = 0

      Vcc = 10 V

As Vi - Vbe = RIb

    10 - 0 = ( 400 × 103 ) Ib

 ⇒        Ib103 × 103  

                = 25 × 10-6 A

 ⇒        Ib = 25 μA

and       Vcc - Vce = Ic Rc

 ⇒            Ic103 × 103

 ⇒                = 3.33 × 10-3

 ⇒         Ic = 3.33 mA

  β :- The ratio of collector current Ic to base current Ib

         β = IcIb

            = 3.33 × 10-325 × 10-6

           β = 133
