#Ex5_1 Pg-278
#calculate Collector current,Emitter current
alpha_dc=0.97 #transistor current gain
ICBO=10.*10.**(-6.) #collector to base leakage current in A
Ib=50.*10.**(-6.) #base current in A
Ic=((alpha_dc*Ib)/(1.-alpha_dc))+(ICBO/(1.-alpha_dc)) #collector current
print '%s %.2f' %("Collector current =mA",Ic*10**3)
Ie=Ic+Ib #emitter current
print '%s %.0f' %("Emitter curren=mA",Ie*10**3)

Collector current =mA 1.95
Emitter curren=mA 2

Example E2 - Pg 279

In [2]:
