What is the primary purpose of a voltage divider bias?
💡 Hint: Think about the issues arising when no biasing is done.
True or False? The emitter resistor RE enhances the stability of the Q-point in BJT circuits.
💡 Hint: Recall what feedback does in electronic circuits.

Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
A BJT with VCC = 15V needs to be biased for a Q-point at IC = 3mA. Design and calculate R1, R2, and RE assuming VBE = 0.7V. Use a βmin = 50.
💡 Hint: Start with VE as a percentage of VCC and calculate backwards.
If a transistor’s β increases from 100 to 150, discuss the effect on IC in a fixed bias configuration and analyze the potential shift in Q-point.
💡 Hint: Think about how the collector current is calculated in fixed bias.
