When the transistor (CE arrangement) is in the cut off region, the collector current is ______________?

Correct answer: B. ICEO

  • A. ICBO
  • B. ICEO
  • C. (ß + 1) ICEO
  • D. IC(sat)

Explanation

In CE cutoff, the base is open in the leakage-current model, so the collector current is the collector-to-emitter leakage current, ICEO. ICBO applies when the emitter is open, while saturation current belongs to the fully conducting region.
