Q135 / 200 · NEET 2002 · Physics

For a transistor $\frac{I_C}{I_E}=0.96$, then the current gain for common emitter configuration:

  • A
    12
  • B
    6
  • C
    48
  • Correct answer
    D
    24

Solution

For the common emitter configuration, the current transfer ratio is $\begin{aligned} & \alpha=\frac{I_C}{I_B}=0.96 \\ & \therefore \text { Current gain }=\beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha} \\ & =\frac{0.96}{1-0.96}=24 \end{aligned}$

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