In the following common emitter circuit, β=100 and VCE=7 V. If VBE is negligible, then the base current is

  1. 0.01 mA
  2. 0.04 mA
  3. 0.02 mA
  4. 0.03 mA

Solution

The figure below represents the common emitter circuit,

Apply Kirchhoff law,

-15+2IC+VCE=0

-15+2Ic+7=0

IC=4 mA

The common emitter gain is,

β=ICIB

100=4×10-3IB

IB=0.04 mA
