The output characteristics of a transistor in common emitter (CE) mode is the graph obtained by plotting

The output characteristics of a transistor in common emitter (CE) mode is the graph obtained by plotting
  1. $I_C$ against $V_{B E}$ at constant $I_B$
  2. $I_C$ against $I_B$ at constant $V_{B E}$
  3. $I_C$ against $V_{C E}$ at constant $I_B$
  4. $I_C$ against $I_B$ at constant $V_{C E}$

Solution

The output characteristics of a transistor in common emitter (CE) mode is the graph drawn between output current and output voltage when the input current is kept constant. Therefore, the output characteristics of a transistor in common emitter (CE) mode is the graph obtained by plotting $I_C$ against $V_{C E}$ at constant $I_B$.
