Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Analyze a given n-p-n transistor circuit where the base-emitter voltage is set at 0.7V and the collector-emitter voltage at 5V. Calculate the expected collector current if β = 150.
💡 Hint: Remember to establish the base current using the supply voltage and the base resistor.
Given a p-n-p transistor with an emitter current of 2mA, calculate the base and collector currents if β is known to be 100. Discuss what happens if the base-emitter voltage is lowered.
💡 Hint: Relate the changes in base current to the effects on collector current.
