AI Thread Summary
The discussion focuses on using Multisim for DC Operating point analysis to determine emitter voltage and current without a multimeter. The user successfully built the circuit and calculated the emitter current but is unsure how to find the base voltage needed for the equation Ve=Vb-Vbe. Clarification is sought on how to derive the base voltage from the circuit. It is noted that if the transistor is forward biased, the standard potential between the emitter and base can aid in calculations. The conversation emphasizes the importance of accurately labeling and presenting results in the output screenshot.

Homework Statement


Using DC Operating point analysis in Multisim (DO NOT USE
MULTIMETER INSTRUMENT-NO CREDIT) determine the emitter
voltage and emitter current. Provide a screenshot of the results
window. Put a title for the output and label accordingly. Show clearly
the emitter current and the voltage on the results window


Homework Equations





The Attempt at a Solution


I built the circuit asked of me I will upload it and I figured out how to get emitter current. I also understand that Ve=Vb-Vbe and I have Vbe what I am confused about is how to find the base voltage of the circuit so I can implement the equation?

If you have the emitter current then you can calculate the potential on the emitter. If the transistor is forward biased then you should know the "standard" potential between the emitter and base...
