In a common emitter transistor amplifier circuit, the current gain =0.8 . If the base current changes by 3 A then the collector current changes by
Options
- A4 A
- B6 A
- C12 A
- D24 A
Correct answer
C. 12 A
Step-by-step solution
The common emitter current gain relates to the common base current gain = 0.8 through the formula = 1 - = 0.8 0.2 = 4 . For a transistor in common emitter configuration, the change in collector current relates to the base current change as I_C = I_B . With I_B = 3 A , the collector current changes by I_C = 4 3 A = 12 A . Final answer: 12 A
