What will be the voltage between the collector and the emitter `(V_("CE"))` of a transitor, used as a switch , during the cut off state?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The voltage between the collector and the emitter will be equal to `V_("cc")` during the cut-off.
Note : During the cut-off state, collector current becomes zero and no voltage drop across the load resistor. Hence the two terminals of the resistor will be driven to same potential as `V_("cc")`.

(a) Estimate the speed with which electrons emitted from a heated emitter of an evacuated tube impinge on the collector maintained at a potential difference of 500 V with respect to the emitter. Ignore the small initial speeds of the electrons. The specific charge of the electron, i.e., its e/m is given to be 1.76 xx 10^(11) C kg^(-1) . (b) Use the same formula you employ in (a) to obtain electron speed for an collector potential of 10 MV. Do you see what is wrong ? In what way is the formula to be modified?
