AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around a circuit problem involving a PNP-common BJT transistor, where the user is confused about the application of Kirchhoff's rules in calculating emitter and collector currents. The user correctly calculates the emitter current (Ie) as 0.002A but questions the presence of a +0.1V term in the collector circuit equation, which seems inconsistent with their calculations. They also express frustration over a lack of clear explanation from the teacher regarding this discrepancy. Additionally, the user seeks recommendations for textbooks that provide numerous example problems related to transistors. The thread highlights the complexities of transistor circuit analysis and the need for reliable educational resources.

Hi all. I'm new in this forum. and i thought to say welcome with a problem what makes me crazy. It is a pnp-common bjt transistor. made of silicon. the emittor current, the collector current and the base current are asked in the condition of Vin=0V. (alfa=0,98) However when the teacher wrote the kirchhoffs rule for the emittor circuit and the collector circuit, he wrote:

for the emittor circuit:
Vee-Veb-(1-alfa)Ie*50-49*Ie=0
he took 0,6 for the Veb cause it is silicon. it is ok. and from here Iee comes out 0,002A.

but for the collector circuit:
Vcc-Vcb-1,98Ic+0,1=0
how 0,1 can be here? there is Ib*Rb. right? we had found 0,002A for the Ie. and when put it in the Ie=Ic+Ib equation, and use the Ic=alfa*Ie, we found 0,00004A for the Ib. and if we multiply it with Rc; 50ohm, we found 0,002A. so where is the +0,1?

we asked the confusing to the teacher, however he didn't give us a saturating reply. so i thooght to ask it to you. i will be waiting for your answers.

and also, i generally need a textbook which has got plenty of example problems. (especially about transistors) could you give me some suggestions?

sorry, i forgot the circuit picture. here it is.

I multiplied the values first without the error limit. Got 19.38. rounded it off to 2 significant figures since the given data has 2 significant figures. So = 19. For error I used the above formula. It comes out about 1.48. Now my question is. Should I write the answer as 19±1.5 (rounding 1.48 to 2 significant figures) OR should I write it as 19±1. So in short, should the error have same number of significant figures as the mean value or should it have the same number of decimal places as...
Thread 'A cylinder connected to a hanging mass'
Let's declare that for the cylinder, mass = M = 10 kg Radius = R = 4 m For the wall and the floor, Friction coeff = ##\mu## = 0.5 For the hanging mass, mass = m = 11 kg First, we divide the force according to their respective plane (x and y thing, correct me if I'm wrong) and according to which, cylinder or the hanging mass, they're working on. Force on the hanging mass $$mg - T = ma$$ Force(Cylinder) on y $$N_f + f_w - Mg = 0$$ Force(Cylinder) on x $$T + f_f - N_w = Ma$$ There's also...
