    For a transistor\[{{I}_{E}}=25\,mA\] and \[{{I}_{B}}=1\,mA,\]the value of current gain \[\alpha \] will be:

    A) \[\frac{25}{24}\]

    B) \[\frac{24}{25}\]

    C)  \[\frac{25}{26}\]

    D)  \[\frac{26}{25}\]

    Correct Answer: B

    Solution :

     Key Idea: Emitter current is sum of base current and collector current. The current gain \[(\alpha )\] for a transistor is given by \[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{\Iota }_{C}}}{\Delta {{I}_{E}}}\] ?(i) Also, \[\Delta {{\Iota }_{E}}=\Delta {{\Iota }_{C}}+\Delta {{\Iota }_{B}}\] ?(ii) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \[\alpha =\frac{\Delta {{\Iota }_{E}}-\Delta {{\Iota }_{B}}}{\Delta {{\Iota }_{E}}}\] Given, \[\Delta {{\Iota }_{E}}=25\,mA,\,\Delta {{\Iota }_{B}}=1\,mA\] \[\therefore \] \[\alpha =\frac{25-1}{25}=\frac{24}{25}\] Note: Current gain \[(\alpha )\] is usually less than one, hance, options [a] and [d] cannot be correct.
