In common emitter mode of transistor, the d.c. current gain is 20 , the emitter current is 7 mA. The collector current is
Options
- A14 3 mA
- B20 3 mA
- C7 3 mA
- D8 3 mA
Correct answer
B. 20 3 mA
Step-by-step solution
Given the d.c. current gain in common emitter mode, = 20 Emitter current, I_E = 7 mA The relation between current gain in common base mode ( ) and common emitter mode ( ) is given by: = 1 + Substituting the value of : = 20 1 + 20 = 20 21 We also know that = I_C I_E , where I_C is the collector current. Therefore, I_C = I_E Substituting the values: I_C = 20 21 7 = 20 3 mA Answer: 20 3 mA
