2. Run and simulate the circuit to measure value of V B, VC and VE respectively. Use DC operating
point analysis. Record the values in Table 1. Using the values obtained, calculate the values of
VBE and VCE using the following relations:
VBE = VB – VE
VCE = VC – VE
3. Verify your results using theoretical calculations. Use β the same as the data of your transistor
applied in the simulation and VBE=0.7V.
