Chapter 29.2, Problem 35SSC

To determine

The ratio of the emitter current to base current.

Answer to Problem 35SSC

The ratio of the emitter current to base current is $96:1$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given data:

  $I_E=$ Emitter Current

  $I_C=$ Collector Current

  $I_B=$ Base Current

  $I_C=95I_B$

Formula used:

I_E= I_C+ I_B

Calculation:

Ratio of emitter current to base current,

  $\begin{array}{l}{I}_E=I_B+95I_B=96I_B\\ \frac{I_E}{I_B}=96\\ I_E:I_B=96:1\end{array}$

Conclusion:

Hence, the ratio of the emitter current to base current is $96:1$ .
