Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Design a self-biased CE amplifier with an operating point of 10mA. Given V_BB = 10V and R_E = 1kΩ, calculate the necessary V_BE.

💡 Hint: Analyze how V_BE is critical for setting your expected current.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a numerical example, if R_C = 4kΩ and R_E = 1kΩ, and V_CC = 15V, what is the voltage gain if β = 150?

💡 Hint: Consider any thermal stability provided by the emitter resistor's presence.
