Determine IEQ ICQ IBQ
My problem is that this circuit is overdetermined and cannot be solved. (See below)
Homework Equations
##\beta = 75##
##I_E=76 I_B ##
The Attempt at a Solution
The current IB is calculated as ##I=\frac{1}{500}=.002mA##
The current ##I_E## is ##I_E = 76*.002 = .152 mA##
Similarly ##I_C= 75 * .002 = 0.15 mA##
The voltage ##V_{CE}## is calculated by knowing the current in the emitter and starting upwards from the -3V node, in other words
##V_{CE}=3-(-3+4.8*.152)=5.27V##Knowing this we see that there is a contradiction. The voltage drop across the BE is not .7 .
Is this a sound way of proving that the BE voltage doesn't HAVE to be 0.7?
