This set of Electronic Devices and Circuits Multiple Choice Questions & Answers (MCQs) focuses on “Basic BJT Amplifier Configuration”.

1. An amplifier is measured to have an internal resistance of 10 kΩ, voltage gain of 100V/V and output resistance of 100 Ω. Also, when a load resistance of 1 kΩ is connected between the output resistance if found to decrease to 8 kΩ. If the amplifier is fed with the signal source having an internal resistance of 2 kΩ. Find Gm.
a) 1 A/V
b) 10 A/V
c) 100 A/V
d) 1000 A/V
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: Gm = (voltage gain in V/V) / (output resistance) or 100/100 A/V.

2. An amplifier is measured to have an internal resistance of 10 kΩ, voltage gain of 100V/V and output resistance of 100 Ω. Also, when a load resistance of 1 kΩ is connected between the output resistance if found to decrease to 8 kΩ. If the amplifier is fed with the signal source having an internal resistance of 2 kΩ. Find Av.

8. The circuit shown below is a small sine wave signal with average zero and transistor ß. Find R(C) to establish a dc collector voltage of about +5V.
Find the value of R(E) to establish a dc emitter current of about 0.5 mA
a) 5 kΩ
b) 10 kΩ
c) 15 kΩ
d) 20 kΩ
View Answer
