Questions & Answers

Q: What is the first step in DC analysis?

The first step is to consider the circuit at DC, where the frequency is 0 and capacitors are treated as open circuits.

Q: How is the base current (IB) calculated?

The base current can be calculated using the formula: (VCC - VBE) / (RB + 1 + β) where VCC is the supply voltage, VBE is the base-emitter voltage, RB is the base resistor, and β is the transistor's beta value.

Q: How do we find the Q point in DC analysis?

The Q point is found by calculating the collector current (IC) using the formula: IC = β * IB. The value of ICQ represents the operating point on the output characteristics graph.

Q: What is the stability factor in DC analysis?

The stability factor (S) is calculated using the formula: S = β / (1 + β) * (RB / RE). It determines the level of stability in the Q point, with a value less than 1 + β indicating higher stability.
