1. Identify the region of operation for the following circuits. What is the VC, VE, IB, IC and
IE in each case. If active, what is the collector voltage? Assume |VBE| = 0.7 V and =
100.
(Ans: (a) Saturation, VC = 1.4 V, VE = 1.7 V, IB = 0.29 mA, IC = 0.14 mA, IE = 0.43 mA;
(b) Active, VC = −13.68 V, VE = −20.7 V, IB = 18.4 A, IC = 1.86 mA, IE = 1.86 mA)

3. A common-emitter amplifier circuit is shown in Figure 3. Assume that the capacitors
have infinite value, = 100, VCC = VEE = 15 V, RI = 750 , R1 = R2 = 200 k, RL = 100
k, RE = 280 k, and RC = 100 k. Calculate the DC operating point of the amplifier.
(Ans: IC = 50 VEC =10.86 V).
Calculate the dc power dissipation in each element in the amplifier circuit. Compare the
result to the total power delivered by the sources.
(Ans: PR1 = 1.125 mW, PR2 = 1.125 mW, PRc = 0.25 mW, PRE = 0.71 mW, PBJT = 0.54
mW. PS = 3.76 mW)
