Modern Physics Ques 254
- In the figure, given that $V _{B B}$ supply can vary from $0$ to $5.0 $ $V$, $V _{C C}=5 $ $V, \quad \beta _{DC}=200, \quad R _B=100 $ $k \Omega, \quad R _C=1 $ $k \Omega$ and $V _{B E}=1.0$ $ V$. The minimum base current and the input voltage at which the transistor will go to saturation, will be, respectively

Answer:
Correct Answer: 254.(b)
Solution:
Formula:
- Transistor saturation occurs when $V _{C E}=0$.
Now, for closed loop of collector and emitter by
Kirchhoff’s voltage rule, we have
$ \begin{aligned} & V _{C E}=V _{C C}-I _C R _C \Rightarrow 0=V _{C C}-I _C R _c \\ \Rightarrow \quad & I _C=\frac{V _{C C}}{R _C}=\frac{5}{1 \times 10^{3}}=5 \times 10^{-3} A \end{aligned} $
Now, $\beta _{DC}=200$ (given) $\Rightarrow \frac{I _C}{I _B}=\beta _{DC}=200$
$\Rightarrow \quad I _B=\frac{I _C}{200}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-3}}{200}$
$\Rightarrow \quad I _B=2.5 \times 10^{-5}=25 $ $\mu A$
Now, we apply Kirchhoff’s voltage rule in base-emitter closed loop, we get
