Junction Transistor

In an n-p-n transistor the collector current is 99 mA. If 90%90\% of the electrons from the emitter reach the collector then

Show answer and solution

Answer: (a)

  1. α=0.9\alpha = 0.9, so IE=ICα=90.9=10I_E = \dfrac{I_C}{\alpha} = \dfrac{9}{0.9} = 10 mA.
  2. IB=IE−IC=10−9=1I_B = I_E - I_C = 10 - 9 = 1 mA.
  3. β=ICIB=91=9\beta = \dfrac{I_C}{I_B} = \dfrac{9}{1} = 9
  4. So the answer is (a) β=9.0\beta = 9.0.
