AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on calculating the base current (Ib) for a transistor using Kirchhoff's Current Law (KCL). The known values are Ie = 4 and Ic = 3.992, with the alpha value expected to be between 0.9 and 1. Participants are seeking clarification on the formula for Ib and how to apply KCL to determine the currents entering and leaving the transistor. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding the relationships between the currents in a transistor circuit. Accurate calculations are essential for effective circuit analysis.

Hey, I'm currently stuck with this question. There are several parts to this question.

I know alpha should be around .9-1 but I don't think I know the formula for IB.

In part A) Ie = 4 and and Ic = 3.992

What does Ib have to be?
