A transistor is used in common emitter configuration. Given its `alpha=0.9`, calculate the change in collector current when the base current changes by `2muA`.

A

`3 muA`

B

`9 muA`

C

`18 muA`

D

`30 muA`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
B

`beta=alpha/(1-alpha) = 0.9/(1-0.9) = 9 " " beta=(DeltaI_C)/(DeltaI_B)`
`therefore DeltaI_C=beta. DeltaI_B " " therefore DeltaI_C=9xx2=18 muA`
