Q. A transistor is operated in common-emitter configuration at $V_{c} = 2V$ such that a change in the base current from $100\ \mu A$ produces a change in the collector current from $5\ mA$ to $10\ mA$. The current gain is

A) 75
B) 100
C) 150
D) 50
Explanation

(d) $\beta = \frac{\mathrm{\Delta}i_{c}}{\mathrm{\Delta}i_{b}} = \frac{(10 - 5) \times 10^{- 3}}{(200 - 100) \times 10^{- 6}} = 50$
