Question 1

What is the effect of beta on collector current in a fixed bias circuit?

It has no effect
It increases collector current
It decreases collector current

💡 Hint: Remember, beta is the amplification factor of the transistor.

Question 2

The output voltage of a common emitter amplifier is affected by which factor?

Only the input voltage
The load resistance
Both input voltage and load resistance

💡 Hint: Think about how changes in these parameters affect amplifier operation.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Given a fixed bias CE amplifier with a supply voltage of 15V, a beta of 100, and a collector resistor of 2 kΩ. If the beta changes to 300, what would be the new collector voltage and current if the design allows?

💡 Hint: Use the voltage drop formula and ensure you consider the voltage limit to avoid saturation.

Challenge 2 Hard

Design a circuit with a cell bias configuration that maintains a collector current of 3 mA. List the resistors needed to achieve this with a supply voltage of 10V and react to varying beta.

💡 Hint: Apply the cell bias rationale to increase stability across varying beta.
