Question

In a n-p-n transistor, 1010 electrons enter the emitter in 10-6 s and 4% of the electrons are lost in base. The current transfer ratio will be

Moderate
Solution

Number of electrons reaching the collector, 

                                             nC=96100×1010=0.96×1010

Emitter current, IE=nE×et

Collector current, IC=nC×et

Thus, current transfer ratio,

                                       α=ICIE=nCnE=0.96×10101010=0.96
