Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a BJT circuit with VCC = 20V, RB = 100kΩ, and VBE = 0.7V, calculate IB, IC, and VCE assuming a βDC of 150. Analyze how a temperature increase might affect the stability of the circuit.

💡 Hint: Check your calculations at each step to see how IB shifts with changes in β.

Challenge 2 Hard

For a JFET self-bias circuit with IDSS = 4mA and VP = -2V, if you're setting ID to 2mA, analyze how to calculate RS and explain potential shifts in the Q-point when ID changes.

💡 Hint: Draw the characteristic curves for a better understanding of the impact.
