Figure 4– 55

18. Determine whether or not the transistors in Figure 4– 55 are saturated.

20. Determine the terminal voltages of each transistor with respect to ground for each circuit in
Figure 4– 57. Also determine VCE, VBE, and VCB.

Figure 4– 57

21. If the βDC in Figure 4– 57( a) changes from 100 to 150 due to a temperature increase, what is
the change in collector current?
22. A certain transistor is to be operated at a collector current of 50 mA. How high can VCE go
without exceeding a PD( max) of 1.2 W?

23. The power dissipation derating factor for a certain transistor is 1 mW/° C. The PD( max) is
0.5 W at 25° C. What is PD( max) at 100° C?

25. To achieve an output of 10 V with an input of 300 mV, what voltage gain is required?

26. A 50 mV signal is applied to the base of a properly biased transistor with r’e = 10 Ω and RC =
560 Ω. Determine the signal voltage at the collector.
