Hi
I am having trouble with the following question
View attachment question4_BJTdiffamp.pdf
i don't understand why the value of Ic is 0.1293mA whilst i get 0.17966mA.

This i how i done it:

-3+18Ic+0.7+11.5Ic-3=0

6=18Ic+11.5Ic+0.7
6-0.7=(18+11.5)Ic
29.5Ic=5.3
Ic=0.17966mA

P.S

 

"-3+18Ic+0.7+11.5Ic-3=0"

The current through the 11.5 resistor is 2*Ic (as Ic1 and Ic2 flow through it) and hence the drop is 11.5*2Ic.

 

i have another question that is similar in question 5

how would you find Ic which is needed for when i find r(pi)

this is what i get however the answer they got is 0.075
Ie=(beta+1)Ib
Ib=Ie/(beta+1) = 1.485micro
Ic=betaIb
Ic=0.01485mA

where is my mistake?

P.S

 

Each Transistor contributes one half of the total emitter current .So to find the collector current of each transistor you need to divide the given Ie by 2 .
