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?

TL;DR Summary: I came across this question from a Sri Lankan A-level textbook. Question - An ice cube with a length of 10 cm is immersed in water at 0 °C. An observer observes the ice cube from the water, and it seems to be 7.75 cm long. If the refractive index of water is 4/3, find the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. I could not understand how the apparent height of the ice cube in the water depends on the height of the ice cube immersed in the water. Does anyone have an...
Kindly see the attached pdf. My attempt to solve it, is in it. I'm wondering if my solution is right. My idea is this: At any point of time, the ball may be assumed to be at an incline which is at an angle of θ(kindly see both the pics in the pdf file). The value of θ will continuously change and so will the value of friction. I'm not able to figure out, why my solution is wrong, if it is wrong .
