     In an n - p - n transistor circuit, the collector current is 10 mA. If 90% of the electrons emitted reach the collector, the emitter current IE and base current IB are given by:

    A)  \[{{I}_{E}}=9mA,\,{{I}_{B}}=-1mA\]

    B)  \[{{I}_{E}}=-1mA,\text{ }{{I}_{B}}=9mA\]

    C)  \[{{I}_{E}}=1\text{ }mA,\text{ }{{I}_{B}}=11mA\]

    D)  \[{{I}_{E}}=11mA,\text{ }{{I}_{B}}=1mA\]

    Correct Answer: D

    Solution :

    Collector current\[{{I}_{C}}=10mA=0.9{{I}_{E}}\](where \[{{I}_{E}}\] the emitter current) Thus \[{{I}_{E}}=\frac{10}{0.9}=11mA\] For an-p-n transistor base current is given by \[{{I}_{B}}={{I}_{E}}-{{I}_{C}}=11-10=1mA\]
