The transfer ratio β of a transistor is 50. The input resistance

Home » Modern Physics » Semiconductor Electronics : Materials, Devices and Simple Circuits » Question

The transfer ratio β of a transistor is 50. The input resistance of the transistor when used in the common emitter configuration is 1 kΩ. The peak value of the collector A.C. current for an A.C. input voltage of 0.01 V peak is

1. 100 µA
2. 0.01 mA
3. 0.25 mA
4. 500 µA

Correct Option: D

i_c = β .	V_s	= 50 ×	0.01	= 500 × 10^-6 A
	R_in		1000

= 500 μA
