CALCULATIONS :-
i) Consider the graph for INPUT CHARACTERISTICS
ri = [delta(VBE) / delta(IB)] at VCE = constant
ri = [delta(VBE) / delta(IB)] at VCE = 10 Volts constant
Choosing points A & C on the graph for VCE = 10 Volts constant.
ri = (VBE corresponding to point A - VBE corresponding to point C) /
(IB corresponding to point A - IB corresponding to point C)
= (0.35 - 0.15) Volts / (220 - 72.5) microA
= 0.2 V/ 147.5 x 10-6micro A
= 1.356 k ohms.
For other graphs at VCE at 0 volts constant and 5 volts constant, the slope seems to be nearly same.
So, for these graphs also ri values will be nearly equal to 1.356 k ohms.
So, mean value of ri = 1.356 k ohms.
ii) Consider the graph for OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS
ro = [delta(VCE) / delta(IC)] at IB = constant
Choosing points A & C on the graph. These points are common for all three graphs for IB
constant at 50 micro A, 150 micro A & 250 micro A.
So, ro = (VCE corresponding to point A -
VCE corresponding to point C) / (IC corresponding to point A -
IC corresponding to point C)
= (4 - 2) V / (8.5 - 4) mA
= 2 V / 4.5 x 10-3 A
= 444.44 ohms.
So, mean value of ro = 444.44 ohms.
iii) & iv) Consider the graph for TRANSFER CHARACTERISTICS
a) betaDC = (IC) / (IB) at constant VCE
Choosing point A on the graph
betaDC = (IC corresponding to point A) /
(IB corresponding to point A)
= 6.25 mA / 25 microA
= 6.25 x 10-3 A / 25 x 10-6 A
= 250
b) betaAC = [delta(IC) / delta(IB)] at VCB = constant
Choose points A and B on the graph
Then, betaAC = (IC corresponding to point A - IC
corresponding to point B) / (IB corresponding to point A - IB
corresponding to point B)] at VCE = 5 V
= (25 - 10) mA / (6.25 - 2.4) microA
= 10 x 10-3 A / 3.85 x 10-6 A
= 259.74
