Question:

The value of $α$ for a transistor is 0.9. What would be the change in the collector current corresponding to a change of 4 mA in the base current in a common emitter arrangement ?

Options:

36 mA

72 mA

18 mA

None of these

Correct Answer:

36 mA

Explanation:

$ΔI_c=βΔI_b=\frac{αΔI_b}{1-α}=\frac{0.9×4}{0.1}=36mA$
