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?
💡 Hint: Use the transconductance formula.
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?
💡 Hint: Consider g_m for your calculations and ensure the collector current remains less than 10 mA.
