Junction Transistor

For a common emitter configuration, if 'α\alpha' and 'β\beta' have their usual meanings, the incorrect relation between 'α\alpha' and 'β\beta' is

Show answer and solution

Answer: (b)

  1. Correct relations: α=β1+β\alpha = \dfrac{\beta}{1+\beta} and β=α1−α\beta = \dfrac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}.
  2. Taking reciprocals of α=β1+β\alpha = \dfrac{\beta}{1+\beta}: 1α=1β+1\dfrac{1}{\alpha} = \dfrac{1}{\beta} + 1, which also gives 1β=1α−1\dfrac{1}{\beta} = \dfrac{1}{\alpha} - 1. So (a), (c), (d) are correct.
  3. α=β1−β\alpha = \dfrac{\beta}{1-\beta} does not follow; it would make α<0\alpha < 0 for β>1\beta > 1.
  4. So the answer is (b).
