Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices and Simple Circuits - Result Question 67

69. The input resistance of a silicon transistor is 100Ω. Base current is changed by 40μA which results in a change in collector current by 2mA. This transistor is used as a common emitter amplifier with a load resistance of 4KΩ. The voltage gain of the amplifier is :

(a) 2000

(b) 3000

(c) 4000

(d) 1000

Answer:

Correct Answer: 69. (a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Voltage gain (AV)=Vout Vin =Iout Iin ×Rout Rin 

AV=2×10340×106×4×103100=2×100=2000

In a common-emitter amplifier, the voltage signal obtained across the collector and the emitter is 180 out of phase with the input voltage signal applied across the base and the emitter. This is indicated in the equation for AV by its negative sign.
