In the circuit given below, ß = 99 and Vbe = 0.7V. Find the value of collector current.
In the circuit given below, ß = 99 and Vbe = 0.7V. Find the value of collector current.


Right Answer is:
0.99 mA
SOLUTION
Using the relationship between IC and IB:
IC = β * IB = 99 * IB
Where
β = DC current gain
IC = Collector current
IB = Base current
IC = 99IB
Applying KCL in loop 1:
-5 + 30(IB) + 0.7 + 4(IE) = 0
-5 + 30(IB) + 0.7 + 4(IB + IC) = 0
-5 + 30(IB) + 0.7 + 4(IB +99IB) = 0
-5 + 30(IB) + 0.7 + 4(100IB) = 0
430IB = 4.3
IB = 0.01 mA
IB = 10 μA
IC = 99IB
IC = 990 μA
or IC = 0.990 mA
