Interactive Quizzes

Engage in quick quizzes to reinforce what you've learned and check your comprehension.

Question 1

What is the formula for calculating base current (I_B)?

  • I_B = I_C * Ξ²
  • I_B = I_C / Ξ²
  • I_B = Ξ² / I_C

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, Ξ² is a ratio.

Question 2

True or False: Increasing the collector voltage necessarily leads to a decrease in collector current.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Think about how changes in voltage impact the internal structure.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

A circuit designer needs to optimize a BJT amplifier. If the current gain Ξ² is 75 and the collector current I_C is 15 mA, determine the base current I_B and discuss how changes in this configuration might affect performance dramatically in terms of thermal stability.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Use the provided equation and consider the relationship between temperature and current gain.

Question 2

Given that the base width decreases with an increase in collector voltage, sketch the ideal collector current output curve in response to varying collector voltage for a hypothetical transistor (assume linear behavior for exercise). Label critical points.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Identify the zones of operation: saturation, active, and cutoff.
