Question:

What is the input resistance of the transistor if a change of 200 mV in base-emitter voltage causes a change of 100μA in the base current?

Options:

2 kΩ

2 Ω

2 mΩ

100 kΩ

Correct Answer:

2 kΩ

Explanation:

ΔVbe​=200 mV=2×10−3V,

ΔIb​=100μA=10−6 A,  For transistors,

the input resistance is Ri​=​ΔVbe/ΔIb​​= 2×10−3/10−6​,  

Ri​=2×103=2 KΩ
