If $R_C$ and $R_B$ are respectively the resistances of in collector and base sides of the circuit, and $\beta$ is the current amplification factor, then the voltage gain of a transistor amplifier in common emitter configuration is
  1. $\beta R_C R_B$
  2. $\frac{\beta}{R_C R_B}$
  3. $\frac{\beta R_B}{R_C}$
  4. $\frac{\beta R_C}{R_B}$

Solution

The voltage gain of a CE configuration transistor is $A_V=\frac{V_O}{V_I}=\frac{V_C}{V_B}=\frac{I_C R_C}{I_B R_B}=\left(\frac{I_C}{I_B}\right)\left(\frac{R_C}{R_B}\right)=\beta \cdot \frac{R_C}{R_B}$
