Moderate

The value of VBE ___________________?

Correct answer: B. Is almost independent of IC

  • A. Depends upon IC to moderate extent
  • B. Is almost independent of IC
  • C. Is strongly dependant on IC
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

For a conducting transistor, V_BE changes only logarithmically with collector current, so over normal operating ranges it is treated as approximately constant, around 0.7 V for silicon. It is not completely independent of current, but its dependence is weak.
