In an $N-P-N$ transistor circuit,the collector current is $10 \ mA$. If $90\%$ of the electrons emitted reach the collector,then the emitter current $(I_E)$ and base current $(I_B)$ are respectively:

  • A
    $I_E = 1 \ mA; I_B = 11 \ mA$
  • B
    $I_E = 11 \ mA; I_B = 1 \ mA$
  • C
    $I_E = -1 \ mA; I_B = 9 \ mA$
  • D
    $I_E = 9 \ mA; I_B = -1 \ mA$

Consider the circuit arrangement shown in figure $(1)$ for studying input and output characteristics of an $n-p-n$ transistor in $CE$ configuration. Select the values of $R_B$ and $R_C$ for a transistor whose $V_{BE} = 0.7 \, V$, so that the transistor is operating at point $Q$ as shown in the characteristics shown in figure $(2)$. Given that the input impedance of the transistor is very small and $V_{CC} = V_{BB} = 16 \, V$, also find the voltage gain and power gain of the circuit making appropriate assumptions.

$A$ transistor works as an amplifier when

Assertion : In a common emitter transistor amplifier,the input current is much less than the output current.
Reason : The common emitter transistor amplifier has very high input impedance.

In the study of a transistor as an amplifier,if $\alpha = \frac{I_{C}}{I_{E}}$ and $\beta = \frac{I_{C}}{I_{B}}$,where $I_{C}$,$I_{B}$,and $I_{E}$ are the collector,base,and emitter currents respectively,then:
