Q. image
The output characteristics of a typical $n-p-n$ transistor in $C E$ configuration are shown. When $V_{C E}=10 V$ and $I_{C}=4.0 \,mA$, then ratio of $\beta_{ AC }$ and $\beta_{ DC }$ is

Semiconductor Electronics: Materials Devices and Simple Circuits

Solution:

$\because \beta_{ AC }=\left(\frac{\Delta I_{C}}{\Delta I_{B}}\right) V_{C E}$
$\Rightarrow \beta_{ DC }=\frac{I_{C}}{I_{B}}$
Ratio $=\beta_{ AC }: \beta_{ DC }=150: 150=1: 1$
