Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A common-emitter amplifier has a quiescent current of 2mA and a collector resistance of 4.7kΩ. Calculate the voltage gain.

💡 Hint: Make sure to first find the transconductance.

Question 2

Discuss the importance of maintaining a 'small' signal in small-signal analysis and what can go wrong if this is not adhered to.

💡 Hint: Refer back to how transistors respond to variations.
