BJT Problems

The document presents a series of problems related to Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) in various configurations, primarily focusing on common base and common emitter connections. It includes calculations for voltage amplification, current values, and parameters such as alpha (α) and beta (β) for different scenarios. The problems require applying fundamental transistor equations and principles to derive the necessary values.

1. A common base transistor amplifier has an


input resistance of 20 Ω and output resistance
of 100 kΩ. The collector load is 1 kΩ. If a
signal of 500 mV is applied between emitter
and base, find the voltage amplification.
Assume αac to be nearly one.
2. In a common base connection, IE = 1mA,
IC = 0.95mA. Calculate the value of IB.
3. In a common base connection, current
amplification factor is 0.9. If the emitter
current is 1mA, determine the value of base
current.
4. In a common base connection, IC = 0.95
mA and IB = 0.05 mA. Find the value of α.
5. In a common base connection, the emitter
current is 1mA. If the emitter circuit is open,
the collector current is 50 μA. Find the total
collector current. Given that α = 0.92.
6. In a common base connection, α = 0.95.
The voltage drop across 2 kΩ resistance
which is connected in the collector is 2V. Find
the base current.
7. For the common base circuit shown below,
determine IC and VCB. Assume the transistor
to be of silicon.
8. Find the value of β if (i) α = 0.9 (ii) α = 0.98
(iii) α = 0.99.
9. Calculate IE in a transistor for which β = 50
and IB = 20 μA.
10. Find the α rating of the transistor shown
below. Hence determine the value of IC using
both α and β rating of the transistor.
11. For a transistor, β = 45 and voltage drop
across 1kΩ which is connected in the
collector circuit is 1 volt. Find the base current
for common emitter connection.
12. A transistor is connected in common
emitter (CE) configuration in which collector
supply is 8 V and the voltage drop across
resistance RC connected in the collector
circuit is 0.5 V. The value of RC = 800 Ω. If α
= 0.96, determine : (i) collector-emitter voltage
(ii) base current.
13. An n-p-n transistor at room temperature
has its emitter disconnected. A voltage of 5 V
is applied between collector and base. With
collector positive, a current of 0.2 μA flows.
When the base is disconnected and the same
voltage is applied between collector and
emitter, the current is found to be 20 μA. Find
α, IE and IB when collector current is 1 mA.
14. The collector leakage current in a
transistor is 300 μA in CE arrangement. If now
the transistor is connected in CB
arrangement, what will be the leakage
current? Given that β = 120.
