Modern Physics Ques 252
- An $n-p-n$ transistor is used in common emitter configuration as an amplifier with $1 $ $k \Omega$ load resistance. Signal voltage of $10 $ $mV$ is applied across the base-emitter. This produces a $3$ $mA$ change in the collector current and $15 $ $\mu A$ change in the base current of the amplifier. The input resistance and voltage gain are
(a) $0.67 $ $k \Omega, 200$
(b) $0.33 $ $k \Omega, 1.5$
(c) $0.67 $ $k \Omega, 300$
(d) $0.33 $ $k \Omega, 300$

Answer:
Correct Answer: 252.(c)
Solution:
- Given, load resistance, $R _L=1$ $ k \Omega$
Input voltage, $V _{\text {in }}=10$ $ mV=10 \times 10^{-3}$ $ V$
Base current, $\Delta I _B=15 $ $\mu A=15 \times 10^{-6}$ $ A$
Collector current, $\Delta I _C=3 $ $mA$
Input resistance,
$ R _{in}=\frac{V _{in}}{\Delta I _B}=\frac{10 \times 10^{-3}}{15 \times 10^{-6}}=0.67 $ $k \Omega $
and voltage gain $=\beta \times \frac{R _L}{R _{\text {in }}}=\frac{\Delta I _C \times R _L}{\Delta I _B \times R _{\text {in }}}$
$ \begin{aligned} & =\left(\frac{3 mA}{15 \mu A}\right) \times \left(\frac{1 k \Omega}{0.67 k \Omega}\right) \\ & =\left(\frac{3 \times 10^{-3}}{15 \times 10^{-6}}\right) \left(\frac{1 \times 10^{3}}{0.67 \times 10^{3}}\right) \\ & =\frac{1000 \times 3 \times 3}{15 \times 2}=300 \quad(\because 0.67 \cong 2 / 3) \end{aligned} $
Alternate Solution
$\therefore$ Voltage gain $=\frac{V _{\text {output }}}{V _{\text {input }}}=\frac{R _L \times \Delta U _C}{V _{\text {in }}}$
$ =\frac{1 \times 10^{3} \times 3 \times 10^{-3}}{10 \times 10^{-3}}=300 $
