Assignment (7)
1. Describe with drawing the difference in the structures of the npn and pnp transistors.
2. Explain the purpose of a thin, lightly doped base region. And why is the base current in a transistor so
much less than the collector current?
3. In a certain transistor circuit, the base current is 2% of the 30 mA emitter current. Determine the
collector current.
4. What is the value of IC for IE = 5.34 mA and IB = 475 μA?
5. What is the βDC of a transistor if IC = 20.3 mA and IE = 20.5 mA?
6. What is the αDC if IC = 5.35 mA and IB = 50 μA?
7. A base current of 50 μA is applied to the transistor in Figure 1, and a voltage of 5 V is dropped across
RC. Determine the βDC and αDC of the transistor.
8. Assume that the transistor in the circuit of Figure 1 is replaced with one having a βDC of 200. Determine
IB, IC, IE, and VCE given that VCC = 10 V and VBB = 3 V.

exceeding a PD(max) of 1.2 W?
13. The power dissipation derating factor for a certain transistor is 1 mW/°C. The PD(max) is 0.5 W at 25°C.
What is PD(max) at 100°C?
