1. In CB Configuration the value of α is 0.98. A voltage drop of 4.9 V is obtained across a resistor of 5
KΩ, when connected in collector circuit. Find the base current.
2. The collector and base currents of an npn transistor are measured as IC = 5 mA, IB = 50 µA and ICBO

3. In an npn transistor α = 0.98, IE = 10 mA, leakage current ICBO = 1 µA. Calculate IC, IB , β and ICEO .
4. The value of β for a transistor is 100. If the value of emitter current is 10 mA, then determine the
values of collector and base current.
5. Find the value of base current if the common base DC current gain of a transistor is 0.987, and
emitter current is 10 mA.
6. The reverse saturation current of an npn transistor in common base circuit is 12.5 µA. for an emitter
current of 2 mA, collector current is 1.97 mA. Determine the current gain and base current.
7. A transistor is connected in common emitter configuration as an amplifier. The parameters of the
transistor specified are,
IB = 25 µA, ICBO = 100 nA, β =100.
Find its IC, IE, ICEO and α, where symbols have their usual meaning.
8. IE = 5 mA, IC = 4.95 mA, ICEO = 200 µA. Calculate βdc and leakage current ICBO .
9. The pinchoff voltage of a p-channel JFET is VP = 5V, and the drain source saturation current IDSS =
40 mA. The value of drain source voltage VDS is such that it is operated in saturation region. The
drain current is given by ID = 15 mA. Determine VGS.
10. For n channel JFET, IDSS = 20 mA, VP = - 8V, gm0 = 5000 µS. Determine the drain current and trans

12. A JFET has VP = - 4.5 V, IDSS = 10 mA and ID = 2.5 mA. Determine the trans-conductance.
