Q185 / 200 · Manipal (MET) 2012 · Physics

If a transistor biased in the common-emitter mode, the emitter current is

A
much smaller than base curent
Correct answer
B
much larger than base current
C
nearly equal to the base current
D
much smaller than the collector current

Solution

In common-emitter amplifier, the emitter current is much larger than the base current.

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