Solution

Given:

Current gain (α) = 0.967

Emitter current = 10mA

To Find:

The value of base current of the transistor =?

Solution:

  • The common gain DC current us is given by
    α = 0.967 = `"I"_"C"/"I"_"E"="I"_"C"/10`
    IC = 0.967 × 10
    IC = 9.67mA
  • The base current of the transistor is given by the formula
    IE = IB + IC
    10 = IB + 9.67
    IB = 0.33mA

The value of base current of the transistor is 0.33mA
