A silicon transistor is biased with base resistor method. If ß=100, VBE =0.7 V, zero signal collector current IC = 1 mA and VCC = 6V , what is the value of the base resistor RB ?

Correct answer: B. 530 kO

  • A. 105 kO
  • B. 530 kO
  • C. 315 kO
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The base current is I_B = I_C/β = 1 mA/100 = 10 μA, and the base resistor is R_B = (V_CC − V_BE)/I_B = (6 − 0.7)/10 μA = 530 kΩ. Hence option b matches the calculation.
