A
B E
N
Fig.1
Solution:
Put some labels to the circuit.
Since terminal A is connected to ground => VA=0.
Assuming transistor is in active mode
Loop I:
VAN = VA- VN = 0- (-10) = 10V
VAN = 10 (V) =VAB + VBE +VEN = IB*1(K)+ 0.7 (V) + IE*10 (K)
IE = IB+IC =IB + *IB
=>VAN = 10 (V) = IB*1(K)+ 0.7 (V) + (IB + *IB)*10 (K) = 0.7 (V) + IB*(1(K)+(1+50)*10(K))
10−0.7
I B= =0.0182(mA )
511(K )
I C =¿ I B=0.91(mA )
I E =I B + I C =0.928(mA)
Loop II:
VMN = 10- (-10) = 20 (V)
VMN = VMC + VCE + VEN
=> VMN = 20 (V) = VMC + VCE + VEN = IC* 5 (K) + VCE + IE*10 (K)
=> VCE = 20 (V) - IC* 5 (K) - IE*10 (K) =0.91 (mA)*5(K)- 0.928(mA)*10 (K) = 6.17 (V)
VEN = IE*10(K) = 9.28 (V)= VE-VN
VN = -10 (V) => VE = -0.72 (V).
VCE= VC – VE = 6.17 (V)
VE = -0.72 (V) => VC= 6.17 (V) -0.72 (V) =5.45 (V)
Since VCE >0, transistor is in active mode.
Q2: Draw the circuits at AC
Fig 2.a Fig.2.b
Solution:
To draw the circuit at AC, we need to remember:
1. The DC sources are connected to ground.
2. Large value of the capacitor blocks the DC current (open circuit) and acts as short circuit
for AC signal.
Prove:

ZC = =
jωC j 2 πfC
For DC source when f=0 Hz

ZC = =(ohm)
j2 π∗0∗C
Open circuit ( )
For AC source when f ≠ 0 Hz, C is large, tend to
1
ZC =

C acts as a short circuit: ( )
3. Model of a transistor for AC signal:
a. Draw the circuit at AC
1. The DC sources are connected to ground.
2. The capacitor acts as a short circuit
