In a common emitter configuration of a transistor, the voltage drop across a `500 Omega` resistor in the collector circuit is 0.5 V when the current gain is 0.96, the base current is

Options

A. `(1)/(20)muA`
B. `(1)/(5)muA`
C. `(1)/(20)mA`
D. `(1)/(24)mA`

Explanation

To solve the problem, we will follow these steps:

### Step 1: Calculate the Collector Current (IC)
Given:
- Voltage drop across the collector resistor (RC) = 0.5 V
- Resistance of the collector resistor (RC) = 500 Ω

Using Ohm's Law, we can find the collector current (IC):
