An $n-p-n$ transistor is connected in common-emitter configuration as shown in the figure. If the collector current is $5 \mathrm{~mA}$, $V_{B E}=0.6 \mathrm{~V}, V_{C E}=3 \mathrm{~V}$ and common-emitter current amplification factor is 50 , then the values of $R_1$ and $R_2$ are respectively.
  1. $1 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 74 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  2. $74 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 1 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  3. $37 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 2 \mathrm{k} \Omega$
  4. $2 \mathrm{k} \Omega, 37 \mathrm{k} \Omega$

Solution

In given circuit, $V_{C C}=i_B R_B+V_{B E}$ $ \Rightarrow \quad R_B=R_1=\frac{V_{C C}-V_{B E}}{i_B} $ As, $i_B=\frac{i_C}{\beta}=\frac{5 \times 10^{-3}}{50}=1 \times 10^{-4} \mathrm{~A}$ $ \Rightarrow \quad R_1=\frac{8-0.6}{1 \times 10-4}=7.4 \times 10^4=74 \times 10^3 \Omega=74 \mathrm{k} \Omega $ and by KVL in closed collector loop, we get $ \Rightarrow \quad \begin{aligned} V_{C C} & =i_C R_L+V_{C E} \\ R_L & =\frac{V_{C C}-V_{C E}}{i_C} \\ & =\frac{8-3}{5 \times 10^{-3}} \end{aligned} $ So, $ R_2=R_L=1.0 \mathrm{k} \Omega $
