Q36 / 237 · NTA Abhyas (NEET) 2020 · Physics · Semiconductors

A change of 8.0 mA in the emitter current brings a change of 7.9 mA in the collector current. The values of α and β are

  • A
    0.99, 90
     
  • B
    0.96, 79
     
  • C
    0.97, 99
     
  • Correct answer
    D
    0.99, 79
     

Solution

Given that, change in emitter current,

∆IE=8 mA

And the change in collector current,

∆IC=7.9 mA

We know that,

α=∆IC∆IE⇒α=7.98⇒α≈0.99 

Also, we know that

β=α1-α⇒β=7.981-7.98 

⇒   β=7.98-7.9⇒β=7.90.1=79

Hence, α=0.99 and β=79

Hence, the correct answer is option: 'D'.
