Question
The elements in the circuit in Fig.2.24 have the following values: \(R_{1}=20 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, R_{2}=80 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, R_{C}=0.82 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega\), \(R_{E}=0.2 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, V_{C C}=7.5 \mathrm{~V}, V_{0}=0.6 \mathrm{~V} \text {, and } \beta=39\).
a) Calculate the value of \(i_{B}\) in microamperes.
b) Assume that a digital multimeter, when used as a dc ammeter, has a resistance of \(1 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega\). If the meter is inserted between terminals b and 2 to measure the current \(i_{B}\), what will the meter read?
c) Using the calculated value of \(i_{B}\) in (a) as the correct value, what is the percentage of error in the measurement?
Solution
The first step in solving 3 problem number 41 trying to solve the problem we have to refer to the textbook question: The elements in the circuit in Fig.2.24 have the following values: \(R_{1}=20 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, R_{2}=80 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, R_{C}=0.82 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega\), \(R_{E}=0.2 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega, V_{C C}=7.5 \mathrm{~V}, V_{0}=0.6 \mathrm{~V} \text {, and } \beta=39\).a) Calculate the value of \(i_{B}\) in microamperes. b) Assume that a digital multimeter, when used as a dc ammeter, has a resistance of \(1 \ \mathrm{k} \Omega\). If the meter is inserted between terminals b and 2 to measure the current \(i_{B}\), what will the meter read? c) Using the calculated value of \(i_{B}\) in (a) as the correct value, what is the percentage of error in the measurement?
