Given that the transconductance of a BJT is 20 mS and the collector current is 10 mA, determine the change in output current if the base-emitter voltage increases by 0.1 V.
💡 Hint: Use the transconductance formula to derive the output current change.
Describe how you would ensure a BJT remains in the active region while adjusting the operating point.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between the Q-point, DC biasing, and saturation thresholds.
