In a transistor, when the emitter current changes by 9.85 $\mathrm{mA}$, the collector current changes to $9.5 \mathrm{~mA}$. Then the base current is
  1. $0.05 \mathrm{~mA}$
  2. $0.85 \mathrm{~mA}$
  3. $0.8 \mathrm{~mA}$
  4. $0.35 \mathrm{~mA}$

Solution

$\begin{aligned} & \mathrm{I}_E=9.85 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}}=9.5 \mathrm{~mA} \\ & \mathrm{I}_E=\mathrm{I}_B+\mathrm{I}_{\mathrm{C}} \end{aligned}$ Base current, $I_B=I_E-I_C$ $=9.85-9.5=0.35 \mathrm{~mA}$
