QUESTION:

Figure P7.51 shows a transistor with the collector connected to the base. The bias arrangement is not shown. Since a zero \(v_{BC}\) implies operation in the active mode, the BJT can be replaced by one of the small-signal models of Figs. 7.24 and 7.26. Use the model of Fig. 7.26(b) and show that the resulting two-terminal device, known as a diode-connected transistor, has a small-signal resistance \(r\) equal to \(r_e\).
