Although BJT Transistors Are Current Operated Devices, a Key Characteristic $A _ { V } \cong R _ { C } / R E$

question 247

Multiple Choice

Although BJT transistors are current operated devices, a key characteristic is the signal voltage gain as an amplifier specified as:

• A) \(A _ { V } \cong R _ { C } / R E\)
• B) \(A _ { V } \cong R _ { B } / R _ { E } .\)
• C) \(\mathrm { A } _ { \mathrm { V } } \cong \mathrm { RE } / \mathrm { RC } .\)
• D) \(\mathrm { A } _ { \mathrm { V } } \cong \mathrm { RC } / \mathrm { RB }\)
