Chapter 29.2, Problem 34SSC

To determine

To calculate the base to collector current gain for a circuit.

Answer to Problem 34SSC

The current gain is 120 V.

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

Collector current = $6.6\times {10}^{-3}$ A

Base Current = $55\times {10}^{-6}$ A

Formula used:

  $\text{Collector gain =}\frac{\text{Collector current}}{\text{Base current}}$

Calculation:

  $\text{Collector gain =}\frac{\text{Collector current}}{\text{Base current}}=\frac{6.6\times {10}^{-3}\text{ A }}{5.5\times {10}^{-6}\text{ A}}=120\text{ A}$

Conclusion:

Hence, the current gain is 120 V.
