In the following common emitter circuit, β = 100 and V CE = 7 V . If V BE is negligible, then the base current is
Options
- A0 . 01   mA
- B0 . 04   mA
- C0 . 02   mA
- D0 . 03   mA
Correct answer
B. 0 . 04   mA
Step-by-step solution
The figure below represents the common emitter circuit, Apply Kirchhoff law, - 15 + 2 I C + V C E = 0 - 15 + 2 I c + 7 = 0 I C = 4   mA The common emitter gain is, β = I C I B 100 = 4 × 10 - 3 I B I B = 0 . 04   mA
