A transistor having a $\beta$ equal to 80 has a change in base current of $250 \mu \mathrm{A}$, then the change in collector current is
  1. $20,000 \mathrm{~mA}$
  2. $200 \mathrm{~mA}$
  3. $2000 \mathrm{~mA}$
  4. $20 \mathrm{~mA}$

Solution

$\beta=\left(\frac{\Delta i_C}{\Delta i_B}\right)$ $80=\frac{\Delta i_C}{250 \times 10^{-6}}$ $\Delta i_C=80 \times 250 \times 10^{-6}$ $\Delta i_C=20000 \times 10^{-6}$ $=20 \times 10^{-3}=20 \mathrm{~mA}$
