Question 1

What formula is used to calculate the base current in a BJT?

IB = (VCC - VBE) / RB
IC = βDC * IB
VCE = VCC - IC * RC

💡 Hint: Think about how the current flows through the resistor from VCC.

Question 2

True or False: The Q-point is not essential for transistor operation.

True
False

💡 Hint: Recall the importance of setting operational points correctly.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a BJT with VCC = 10V, VBE = 0.7V, RC = 1kΩ, and βDC = 200, find the Q-point and analyze how it would shift if βDC doubled due to temperature.

💡 Hint: You will need to recalculate the parameters to show the impact of increased β.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a self-bias JFET circuit, if IDSS drops from 4mA to 2mA due to aging, how does this affect the Q-point specifically? Discuss possible effects on amplifier performance.

💡 Hint: Consider how JFET operates at increased ID levels and the effects of reduced IDSS.
