Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

Determine the input impedance of a common collector amplifier with configurations leading to a base current of 10 µA, load current of 0.5 mA, β of 120, and resistance of 4.7kΩ.

💡 Hint: Start by calculating each term separately.

Challenge 2 Hard

Analyze how changes in load capacitance to 10 pF from 100 pF alters the performance characteristics of a common drain amplifier with respect to its upper cutoff frequency.

💡 Hint: Plug into the upper cutoff formula and see the difference.
