Electronic Devices Question 12

Question: In a transistor, a change of 8.0 micro Amperes in the emitter current produces a change of 7.8 micro Amperes in the collector current. What change in the base current is necessary to produce the same change in the collector current

Options:

A) 50 micro Amperes

B) 100 micro Amperes

C) 150 micro Amperes

D) 200 micro Amperes

Show Answer

Answer:

Correct Answer: D

Solution:

$ \Delta i _{e}=\Delta i _{c}+\Delta i _{b} $

Therefore 8 = 7.8 + $ \Delta i _{b} $

$ \Rightarrow \Delta i _{b} $ =0.2mA = 200 micro Amperes.
