Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What does transconductance (g_m) measure?

  • Current to Voltage ratio
  • Voltage to Current change
  • Current change per Voltage change

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on what happens to current when voltage varies.

Question 2

True or False: The Q-point should always be set at the highest part of the output characteristic curve for maximum amplification.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the implications of different operating points.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

If a common emitter amplifier has a transconductance of 40 mA/V, and the base voltage increases by 0.05 V, what will be the change in collector current?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the transconductance formula.

Question 2

A BJT amplifier enters saturation when the collector current exceeds 10 mA. If the collector current is initially 8 mA, what range of increase in input voltage would keep it within linear operation?

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider g_m for your calculations and ensure the collector current remains less than 10 mA.
