Find the approximate collector current in the given transistor circuit. (Take current gain, β = 100)
Right Answer is:
1 mA
SOLUTION
For a transistor, the base current, the emitter current, and the collector current are related as:
IE = IB + IC
where IC = β IB
β = Current gain of the transistor
From the given figure, Apply KVL
10 – IB× RB – VBE = 0
Let us assume VBE = 0.7 V
10 – IB (1× 106) – 0.7 = 0
IB = 9.3 μA
We know that,
IC = β IB
Where,
IC & IB = collector current and base current
Therefore,
IC = 100 × 9.3 μA
= 930 μA
= 0.93 mA
≈ 1 mA
