Tutorial-4

1. If the α value of transistor changes by 0.5% from its nomial value of 0.9, then the
percentage change in β will be ? (where α is common-base current gain and β is common
emitter current gain).

2. For the circuit shown below, find VB and VE for Vdc = 0V, + 3V, -5V and -10V. The
transistors( Q1 and Q2) have β = 100. VBE = 0.7V , VCE(SAT) = 0.2V for npn and VEB =
0.7V, VEC(SAT) = 0.2V for pnp transistor.

3. In the circuit shown below, the transistor has a β of 200. What is the dc voltage at the
collector? Find the input resistance Rib and Rin and the overall voltage gain. Assume
Vt = 25mV, C1 = C2 = ∞.
4. Given Vin as step voltage = V1, for t ≥ 0,

0 , for t < 0.

Find the output voltage V0.
