    The transfer ratio \[\beta \] of a transistor is 50. The input resistance of the transistor when used in the common-emitter configuration is \[1\,k\Omega \]. The peak value of the collector AC current for an AC input voltage of 0.01 V, is :

    A)  500 \[\mu A\]

    B)  0.25 \[\mu A\]

    C)  0.01 \[\mu A\]

    D)  100 \[\mu A\]

    Correct Answer: A

    Solution :

    From the relation \[V=\,i\,R\] We have, V = 0.01 volt, \[R=1000\,\,\Omega \] \[\therefore \] \[\Delta {{i}_{g}}=\frac{V}{R}=\frac{0.01}{1000}={{10}^{-5}}A\] Also from definition of AC current gain, \[\beta \] is the ratio of change in collector current to change in base current at a constant collector                 to emitter voltage. That is                 \[\beta =\frac{\Delta {{i}_{C}}}{\Delta {{i}_{B}}}\] \[\Rightarrow \] \[\Delta {{i}_{C}}=\beta \,\,\Delta {{i}_{B}}\] \[=50\times {{10}^{-5}}=500\,\,\mu A\]
