Question

For a common base transistor circuit, the emitter-current and the collector-current are 1 mA and 0.96 mA respectively. Calculate the current gain and base current.

Solution

Correct option is

0.96, 0.04 mA

By definition, the direct current gain  is given by 

         

                          

                        = 0.96. 

The base-current is emitter-current – collector-current. Thus 

                   

                            

                        = 0.04 mA.
