Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a BJT with β = 120 and IB = 2 mA, if a load resistor of 1 kΩ is connected to the collector, calculate the operating point both theoretically and using numerical methods.

💡 Hint: Start with finding IC then use Ohm's law for the voltage.

Challenge 2 Hard

A BJT shows unpredictable output currents under varying input conditions; analyze what might be wrong with the biasing configuration.

💡 Hint: Think about what happens if V_BE is too low.
