In a common emitter amplifier, a.c. current gain is 40 and input resistance is $2 k \Omega$. The load resistance is given as 1 $10 \mathrm{k} \Omega$. Then the voltage gain is
  1. 52
  2. 125
  3. 178
  4. 200

Solution

For CE amplifier, $\begin{aligned} & \beta=40, \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{I}}=2 \mathrm{k} \Omega, \mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}=10 \mathrm{k} \Omega \\ & \therefore \quad \text { Voltage gain, } \mathrm{A}_{\mathrm{v}}=\beta\left(\frac{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{o}}}{\mathrm{R}_{\mathrm{I}}}\right)=40 \times \frac{10}{2} \\ & =200 \end{aligned}$
