    The current gain of a transistor in a common base arrangement is 0.98. Find the change in collector current corresponding to a change of 5.0 mA in emitter current. What would be the change in base current?

    A) 4.9mA, 0.1 mA

    B) 4.9 mA, 0.2 mA

    C) 5.9mA, 0.3mA

    D) 5.9 mA, 0.8 mA

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    [a] : Given \[\alpha =0.98\]and \[\Delta {{I}_{E}}=5.0mA\] From the definition of,\[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{I}_{C}}}{\Delta {{I}_{E}}}\] Change in collector current \[\Delta {{I}_{C}}=(\alpha )(\Delta {{I}_{E}})=0.98\times 5.0=4.9mA\] Change in base current, \[\Delta {{I}_{B}}=\Delta {{I}_{E}}-\Delta {{I}_{C}}=\left( 5.0-4.9 \right)mA=0.1mA\]
