Question 1
Consider a BJT amplifier with a transconductance of 1.5mS and a base-emitter resistance of 200Ω. If the input signal is a sinusoidal voltage of 20mV, calculate the output voltage swing when coupled with a load resistance of 1kΩ.
💡 Hint: Use the formula for finding output voltage in small signal analysis.
Question 2
Given a BJT operates with a small signal current gain of 150 at a certain operating point. If the base current is 10μA, what will be the collector current? How will this value change if the operating point shifts causing β to drop to 120?
💡 Hint: Recall the relationship between Ic and Ib through β.
