Options

  1. A75 mV
  2. B25 mV
  3. C20 mV
  4. D50 mV

Correct answer

B. 25 mV

Step-by-step solution

Given the collector resistance R_C = 4 k = 4000 , the output voltage V_o = 5 V , and the current amplification factor = 100 . The collector current I_C is given by I_C = V_o R_C = 5 4000 A = 1.25 10⁻³ A = 1.25 mA . The base current I_B is related to the collector current by I_C = I_B . Thus, I_B = I_C = 1.25 mA 100 = 0.0125 mA = 1.25 10⁻⁵ A . The input signal voltage V_i is given by V_i = I_B R_B , where R_B = 2 k = 2000 . V_i = (1.25 10⁻⁵ A ) (2000 ) = 2.5 10⁻² V = 25 mV . Answer: 25 mV
