CALCULATIONS :-
i) Consider the graph for INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
ri = [delta(VEB) / delta(IE)] at VCB = constant
a) ri = [delta(VEB) / delta(IE)] at VCB = 0 Volts
= (VEB corresponding to point E - VEB corresponding to point F) /
(IE corresponding to point E - IE corresponding to point F)
= (0.65 - 0.6) Volts / (20 - 2.5) mA
= 0.05 / 17.5 x 10-3
= 2.857 ohms.
b) ri = [delta(VEB) / delta(IE)] at VCB = 4 Volts
= (VEB corresponding to point C - VEB corresponding to point D) /
(IE corresponding to point C - IE corresponding to point D)
= (0.6 - 0.55) Volts / (11 - 1.75) mA
= 0.05 / 9.25 x 10-3
= 5.405 ohms.
c) ri = [delta(VEB) / delta(IE)] at VCB = 8 Volts
= (VEB corresponding to point A - VEB corresponding to point B) /
(IE corresponding to point A - IE corresponding to point B)
= (0.6 - 0.55) Volts / (20 - 5) mA
= 0.05 / 15 x 10-3
= 3.333 ohms.
So, mean value of ri = 3.865 ohms.
