transistor ?

[cowgiljl]

The emitter current in a certian npn transitor is 8 mA. If .8% of the minority carrier injected into the base recombing with the holes, find the base current , collector current and the exact value of alpha

i am not sure how to get this started

thanks

still struggling and REALLY[*(] don't know how to go about this problem

thanks

As you know IE = IB + IC
From the text I would gess that IB = 0.8% from IC, so just substitute in the first equation and you should find alpha
