Solution
According to the problem, Vi = 10 V, Resistance, RB = 400 kΩ, VBE = 0, VCE = 0 and RC = 3 kΩ
`V_i - V_(BE) = R_BI_B`
`I_B = ("Voltage across" R_B)/R_B`
= `10/(400 xx 10^3)`
= `25 xx 10^-6` A
= 25 μA
Voltage across RC = 10 V
`V_(CC) - V_(CE) = I_CR_C`
`I_C = ("Voltage across" R_C)/R_C`
= `10/(3 xx 10^3)`
= `3.33 xx 10^-3` A
= 3.33 mA
β = `I_C/I_B`
= `(3.33 xx 10^-3)/(25 xx 10^-6)`
= `1.33 xx 10^2`
= 133
