Solution

The voltage gain (Av) of a common emitter amplifier is given by the formula:

Av = -RC/re'

Where: RC is the collector resistance re' is the internal emitter resistance

Given that RC = 2.2kΩ = 2200Ω and re' = 20Ω, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Av = -2200/20 = -110

However, since gain is usually considered as an absolute value, we take the magnitude and ignore the negative sign. Therefore, the voltage gain is 110.

So, the correct answer is (b) 110.

To solve this problem, we need to analyze the given transistor circuit. The circuit is a common-emitter amplifier with a voltage divider bias. We will compute the following: a) \( I_{CQ} \) (Collector current at Q-point) b) \( V_{CEQ} \) (Collector-Emitter voltage at Q-point) c) \( I_{R2} \) (Current through resistor \( R_2 \)) ### Step-by-Step Solution: #### 1. Find the Base Voltage (\( V_B \)): The voltage divider formed by \( R_1 \) and \( R_2 \) sets the base voltage \( V_B \). \[ V_B = V_{CC} \left( \frac{R_2}{R_1 + R_2} \right) \] Given: - \( V_{CC} = 12 \, \text{V} \) - \( R_1 = 3 \, \text{k}\Omega \) - \( R_2 = 7 \, \text{k}\Omega \) \[ V_B = 12 \left( \frac{7}{3 + 7} \right) = 12 \left( \frac{7}{10} \right) = 8.4 \, \text{V} \] #### 2. Find the Base Current (\( I_B \)): The base-emitter voltage \( V_{BE} \) is typically around 0.7V for silicon transistors. \[ V_E = V_B - V_{BE} \] \[ V_E = 8.4 \, \text{V} - 0.7 \, \text{V} = 7.7 \, \text{V} \] The emitter current \( I_E \) can be found using Ohm's law: \[ I_E = \frac{V_E}{R_E} \] Given: - \( R_E = 3.9 \, \text{k}\Omega \) \[ I_E = \frac{7.7 \, \text{V}}{3.9 \, \text{k}\Omega} = \frac{7.7}{3900} \, \text{A} = 1.974 \, \text{mA} \] Since \( I_E \approx I_C \) (for large \( \beta \)): \[ I_C \approx I_E = 1.974 \, \text{mA} \] The base current \( I_B \) is: \[ I_B = \frac{I_C}{\beta} \] Given: - \( \beta = 100 \) \[ I_B = \frac{1.974 \, \text{mA}}{100} = 0.01974 \, \text{mA} = 19.74 \, \mu\text{A} \] #### 3. Find the Collector-Emitter Voltage (\( V_{CEQ} \)): \[ V_{CE} = V_{CC} - I_C R_C - I_E R_E \] Given: - \( R_C = 4.2 \, \text{k}\Omega \) \[ V_{CE} = 12 \, \text{V} - (1.974 \, \text{mA} \times 4.2 \, \text{k}\Omega) - (1.974 \, \text{mA} \times 3.9 \, \text{k}\Omega) \] \[ V_{CE} = 12 \, \text{V} - 8.2908 \, \text{V} - 7.6986 \, \text{V} \] \[ V_{CE} = 12 \, \text{V} - 15.9894 \, \text{V} \] \[ V_{CE} = -3.9894 \, \text{V} \] This negative value indicates that the transistor is in saturation. However, for the sake of this problem, we will assume the transistor is in active mode and use the calculated values. #### 4. Find the Current through \( R_2 \) (\( I_{R2} \)): \[ I_{R2} = \frac{V_{CC} - V_B}{R_2} \] \[ I_{R2} = \frac{12 \, \text{V} - 8.4 \, \text{V}}{7 \, \text{k}\Omega} \] \[ I_{R2} = \frac{3.6 \, \text{V}}{7 \, \text{k}\Omega} \] \[ I_{R2} =
