A BJT has a collector current of 1mA at a particular Q-point. If the V_BE varies by 0.1V, calculate the transconductance assuming the collector current varies to 1.2mA.
💡 Hint: Use the formula ΔI_C / ΔV_BE.
Given a BJT with early voltage (V_A) of 100V, and the collector current increases from 10mA to 12mA as V_CE increases from 5V to 15V, determine the output conductance.
💡 Hint: Recall how output conductance is defined with respect to I_C and V_CE.
