Solution

1. Break Down the Problem

To find the values of ICI_C (collector current) and VCEV_{CE} (collector-emitter voltage), we will use the second approximation for diodes and consider the given current gain β\beta.

2. Relevant Concepts

  • The relationship between collector current, base current, and current gain is given by: IC=βIB I_C = \beta I_B
  • The voltage across the collector-emitter junction, VCEV_{CE}, can be found using Kirchhoff’s voltage law or the specific circuit configurations provided (not provided here, but we will assume a typical configuration).

3. Analysis and Detail

  1. Assumption: Let's assume a typical configuration where the transistor is in active mode.

  2. Determine the base current (IBI_B):

    • For the calculation, you would need the values of resistors or input voltage which are not provided. As an example, we can assume IB=1mAI_B = 1 \, \text{mA} (you can replace this with actual values if available).
  3. Calculate Collector Current (ICI_C): IC=βIB=100×1mA=100mA I_C = \beta I_B = 100 \times 1 \, \text{mA} = 100 \, \text{mA}

  4. Calculate Collector-Emitter Voltage (VCEV_{CE}):

    • Again, this requires specific circuit parameters (like supply voltage VCCV_{CC} and resistances), which are not given. Assuming VCC=10VV_{CC} = 10 \, \text{V} and a load resistor RCR_C:
    • Let's assume RC=100ΩR_C = 100 \, \Omega.
    • The voltage drop across RCR_C due to ICI_C is: VRC=IC×RC=100mA×100Ω=10V V_{RC} = I_C \times R_C = 100 \, \text{mA} \times 100 \, \Omega = 10 \, \text{V}
    • Therefore, the collector-emitter voltage would be: VCE=VCCVRC=10V10V=0V V_{CE} = V_{CC} - V_{RC} = 10 \, \text{V} - 10 \, \text{V} = 0 \, \text{V}
    • This indicates the transistor is in saturation.

4. Verify and Summarize

We calculated:

  • The collector current IC=100mAI_C = 100 \, \text{mA}.
  • The collector-emitter voltage VCE=0VV_{CE} = 0 \, \text{V}, suggesting saturation.

Final Answer

IC=100mA,VCE=0V I_C = 100 \, \text{mA}, \quad V_{CE} = 0 \, \text{V}
