Analyze a two-stage amplifier using n-p-n transistors. If the first stage has a β of 200 and a base current of 5 mA, determine the output current produced by the second stage boosting this output by an additional factor.
💡 Hint: Consider how current flows through each stage based on the relationships we have discussed.
Design a bias network for a p-n-p transistor to achieve I_E of 15mA at V_EB = 0.7V. What supply voltage is needed if the load resistance is 1kΩ?
💡 Hint: Remember to account for the voltage drop across the base-emitter junction when calculating the supply voltage needed.
