Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Consider a silicon BJT with a collector current (IC) of 10mA and a beta (β) of 50. Calculate the base current (IB) in the active region.

💡 Hint: Recall the current gain relationship.

Challenge 2 Hard

A BJT is biased such that its VBE is 0.7V and its IC reaches saturation. Discuss the implications for temperature effects on biasing.

💡 Hint: Analyze how temperature affects semiconductor behavior.
