Ic is directly proportional to Ic.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 8

The forward current gain α is given by

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 8

Collector current by emitter current is the current gain, its value is close to one but never greater than.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 9

The value of β is given by the expression

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 9

Collector current by the base current is beta, its value is in the range 50 to 300.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 10

A power BJT is used as a power control switch by biasing it in the cut off region (off state) or in the saturation region (on state). In the on state

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 10

When base-emitter & base-collector junctions are forward biased only than both the p-n junctions are forward biased and the device is on.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 11

 For a power transistor, if the forward current gain α = 0.97, then β = ?

Test: Power Transistors - Question 13

For a power transistor, which of the following relations is true?

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 13

 Practically speaking Ie = Ib+Ic. Ie is the highest as it is the sum of the collector and base currents. The base current is the smallest.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 14

High frequency operation of any device is limited by the

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 14

Lower the switching losses higher the frequency of operation of the device.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 15

The instantaneous power loss during the delay time of a transistor is given by

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 15

 During the delay time only the collector current flows & base to emitter voltage is zero.

Test: Power Transistors - Question 16

For a power transistor, the average power loss during the delay time can be given by the equation

Detailed Solution for Test: Power Transistors - Question 16

During the delay time only, the collector current flows & base to emitter voltage is zero. Hence the average power can be found, simply by integrating it over the total delay time & dividing by the base time period.
