Show answer
Correct Option: A
Explanation:

(a) $n=\frac { { \triangle v } _{ BE } }{ { \triangle | } _{ B } } =\frac { 0.02 }{ 20\times { 10 }^{ -6 } } =1k\Omega $
${ \beta  } _{ ac }=\frac { { \triangle | } _{ c } }{ { \triangle | } _{ B } } =\frac { 2\times { 10 }^{ -3 } }{ 20\times { 10 }^{ -6 } } =100$

  1. $6\ mA$

  2. $12\ mA$

  3. $3\ mA$

  4. $24\ mA$

Show answer
Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Given that,

Current gain$\beta =120\,A$

Base current $\Delta {{I} _{b}}=100\,\mu A$


We know that,

  $ {{\beta } _{ac}}=\dfrac{\Delta {{I} _{C}}}{\Delta {{I} _{B}}} $

 $ \Delta {{I} _{C}}=120\times 100\times {{10}^{-6}} $

 $ \Delta {{I} _{C}}=12\times {{10}^{-3}}\,A $

 $ \Delta {{I} _{C}}=12\,mA $

Hence, the collector current in the transistor is $12\ mA$
