    For a CE-transistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collected resistance of 2 k``\Omega`` is 2 V. Suppose the current amplification factor of the transistor is 100, find the input signal voltage and base current, if the base resistance is 1 k``\Omega``.
    Ans : Collector resistance, RC = 2 k``\Omega`` = 2000 ``\Omega``

    Audio signal voltage across the collector resistance, V = 2 V

    Current amplification factor of the transistor, β = 100

    Base resistance, RB = 1 k``\Omega`` = 1000 ``\Omega``

    Input signal voltage = Vi

    Base current = IB

    We have the amplification relation as:

    Voltage amplification





    Therefore, the input signal voltage of the amplifier is 0.01 V.

    Base resistance is given by the relation:



    Therefore, the base current of the amplifier is 10 μA.
