From the given transfer characteristic of a transistor in CE configuration, the value of power gain of this configuration is 10 x , for R B = 10 kΩ , and R C = 1 kΩ . The value of x is _____.
Options
- A3
- B4
- C5
- D6
Correct answer
A. 3
Step-by-step solution
The formula to calculate the current gain β in CE configuration is given by β = ∆ I C ∆ I B . . . 1 Considering the third and the first points on the given graph, the current gain can be calculated as follows: β = 30 - 10 × 10 - 3 A 300 - 100 × 10 - 6 A = 100 The formula to calculate the power gain P in CE mode can be written as P = β 2 · R C R B . . . 2 Substitute the known values of the parameters into equation (2) and solve to calculate the required unknown parameter. 10 x = 100 2 × 1 kΩ 10 kΩ = 1000 = 10 3 ⇒ x
