For the common-base configuration shown in the following figure, the value of collector current (IC) is (given that the value of α is 0.95)
(a) 0.9 mA (b) 0.8 mA
(c) 0.947 mA (d) 0.847 mA
The value of load resistance R_L = 5 kΩ The voltage drop across the resistor is 4.5 V.
Therefore, the current flowing through the resistor = 4.5 /\left(5 \times 10^3\right) A =0.9 mA
The current flowing through the resistor is the collector current.
Therefore, collector current is equal to 0.9 mA.
Ans. (a)
