VBE=0.727V
### Understanding NPN Transistor Configuration

#### Circuit Diagram Explanation

The diagram represents a basic NPN transistor circuit in active mode. It includes:

- A resistor \( R_C \) connected to the collector of the transistor, with a supply voltage of \( +20 \, \text{V} \).
- The collector voltage is labeled as \( V_C \).
- A resistor \( R_E \) connected to the emitter, leading to a voltage of \( -20 \, \text{V} \).

#### Transistor Characteristics

The NPN transistor has the following characteristics in active mode:

- Current gain (\( \beta \)): 150

#### Problem Statement

Using the previously found value of \( V_{BE} \), determine the resistor values \( R_C \) and \( R_E \) such that:

- The collector voltage \( V_C \) is \( 6 \, \text{V} \).
- The collector current \( I_C \) is \( 3 \, \text{mA} \).

This problem involves applying known equations and principles regarding transistor operation to solve for the unknown resistances.
