Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A BJT has an emitter current of 50 mA and a collector current of 45 mA. Calculate α. If the α value of the BJT must remain between 0.95 and 0.99 for optimal operation, is this BJT suitable?

💡 Hint: Remember to calculate the ratio and analyze its relevance to operational requirements.

Question 2

Discuss how increasing the emitter area of a BJT affects α if the collector area remains constant. Analyze both advantages and disadvantages.

💡 Hint: Consider how area affects charge carriers in the context of current flow.
