Challenge 1 Hard

If given a p-n-p transistor with a gain (β) of 120 and a base current (I_B) of 10 µA, what would be the collector current (I_C)?

💡 Hint: Use the gain formula to determine the collector current.

Challenge 2 Hard

In a circuit using both p-n-p and n-p-n transistors, how would you determine which one to use for a particular amplification requirement?

💡 Hint: Understand the conditions under which each operates best.
