Question 1

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

  • I_B = I_C * β
  • I_B = I_C / β
  • I_B = β / I_C

💡 Hint: Remember, β is a ratio.

Question 2

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

  • True
  • False

💡 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 β 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.

💡 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.

💡 Hint: Identify the zones of operation: saturation, active, and cutoff.
