Section 6– 2 Transistor AC Models

3. If the dc emitter current in a transistor is 3 mA, what is the value of r΄e?

4. If the hfe of a transistor is specified as 200, determine βac.

6. At the dc bias point of a certain transistor circuit, IB = 15uA and IC = 2 mA. Also, a variation
in IB of 3 uA about the Q- point produces a variation in IC of 0.35 mA about the Q- point.
Determine βDC and βac.
