In an n-p-n common emitter (CE) transistor the collector current changes from 5mA5mA to 16mA16mA for the change in base current from 100\muA100\muA and 200\muA200\muA, respectively. The current gain of transistor is _____.

Options

  1. A110110
  2. B210210
  3. C0.90 . 9
  4. D99

Correct answer

A. 110110

Step-by-step solution

The change in collector current for the given transistor can be written as

{∆Ic=16mA−5mA=11mA\begin{cases}∆ {I}_{c} & = & 16mA - 5mA \\ & = & 11mA\end{cases}

The change in base current for the given transistor can be written as

{∆Ib=200\muA−100\muA=100\muA\begin{cases}∆ {I}_{b} & = & 200\muA - 100\muA \\ & = & 100\muA\end{cases}

The formula to calculate the current gain in CE configuration is given by

β=∆Ic∆Ib...(1)\beta = \dfrac{∆ {I}_{c}}{∆ {I}_{b}} . . . \left(1\right)

Substitute the values of the known parameters into equation (1) to calculate the required quantity.

{β=∆Ic∆Ib=11mA100μA=110\begin{cases}\beta & = & \dfrac{∆ {I}_{c}}{∆ {I}_{b}} \\ = & \dfrac{11mA}{100\mu A} \\ = & 110\end{cases}
