Q.
A common emitter amplifier is designed with $NPN$ transistor $(\alpha = 0.99)$. The input impedance is $1\ K\Omega$ and load is $10\ K\Omega$. The voltage gain will be
A) 9.9
B) 99
C) 990
D) 9900
Explanation
(c) Voltage gain $= \beta \times$ Resistance gain
$\beta = \frac{\alpha}{1 - \alpha} = \frac{0.99}{(1 - 0.99)} = 99$
Resistance gain $= \frac{10 \times 10^{3}}{10^{3}} = 99$
$\Rightarrow$ Voltage gain $= 99 \times 10 = 990$
