MCQ
In a $P N P$ transistor working as a common-base amplifier, current gain is $0.96$ and emitter current is $7.2\ mA$. The base current is
  • A
    $0.4 mA$
  • $0.29 mA$
  • C
    $0.2 mA$
  • D
    $0.35 mA$

Answer

Correct option: B.
$0.29 mA$
$ \alpha=\frac{i_c}{i_e}=0.96 \text { and } i=7.2 \mathrm{~mA} $
$\Rightarrow i_c=0.96 \times i_e=0.96 \times 7.2=6.91 \mathrm{~mA}$
$ \therefore i_e=i_c+i_b \Rightarrow 7.2=6.91+i \Rightarrow i=0.29 \mathrm{~mA} .$
