Answer:
Correct Answer: 63. (a)
Solution:
- (a) Given: amplification factor $\alpha=0.96$
load resistance, $R_L=800 \Omega$
input resistance, $R_i=192 \Omega$
So, $\beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}=\frac{0.96}{0.04} \Rightarrow \beta=24$
Voltage gain for common emitter configuration
$A_v=\beta \cdot \frac{R_L}{R_i}=24 \times \frac{800}{192}=100$
Power gain for common emitter configuration
$P_v=\beta A_v=24 \times 100=2400$
Voltage gain for common base configuration
$A_v=\alpha, \frac{R_L}{R_P}=0.96 \times \frac{800}{192}=4$
Power gain for common base configuration
$P_v=A_v \alpha=4 \times 0.96=3.84$
Transistor provides good power amplification when they are used in CE configuration. CC configuration amplifier is a power amplifier or current booster.
