For a transistor, parameters are β = 180 and VA = 150V, and it is biassed at ICQ = 2m A. If collector of the tansistor is connected to the base terminal, t hen small signal resistaance re = vce/ ic of this two-terminal device is ____ Ω .

- 4.32
- 6.43
- 12.87
- None of the above
Correct Option: C
Since B– C junction is not reverse biased, therefore transistor continues to operate in the forwardactive-mode.

gm Vce | gm |

rπ = | = 2.33 kΩ | |

δm = | mA / mV = | = 77.2 mA / V | ||
VT | 0.259 |

ICQ | 2m |
∴ re = (2.33k) | | (12.95) | | (75k) = 12.87 Ω
