Question

An npn transistor in a common emitter mode is used as a simple voltage – amplifier with a collector current of 4 mA. The terminal of 8 V battery is connected to the collector through a load resistance RL and base through load resistance  RB. The collector emitter voltage VCE=4V , base emitter voltage VBE=0.6V and current amplification factor   β= 100. Find RB (in ohm).

 

Difficult
Solution

Ic=4mA=4×103A, Vcc=8V, VCE=4V, VBE=0.6V, β=100, RB=?

Using KVL in outer loop ,  Vcc-VBE -IbRB = 0, RB=VccVBEIb,

Also , β=IcIb, Ib=Icβ,

RB=VccVBEIcβ=βVCCVBEIc=100(80.64×103)=25(7.4103)

=25×7.4×103=25×74×102=1850×102=18.50×104Ω
