so i should go a step backward and assume beta for part a to get the right value of ic and it must be between zero and 5v which is VthevThe problem is that you won't quit while you're ahead. You insist on then imposing (for part (a)) a condition that does not exist. The current in the collector is NOT 7.5 mA. Is it also not zero. It is something in between. You need the beta of the transistor in order to determine the collector current in the transistor and then you use the load line to determine the corresponding Vce, which will be somewhere between o V and 5 V.
assuming β = 50 then ic = 50 * 43uA = 2.15 mA
Vce = Vthev - (ic*Req)
Vce = 5 - ( 2.15mA * 1000 )
Vce = 2.85v
is this correct ?
if it is right so irl =[ 2.85 - ( -5) ] / 2k = 3.92mA
but i remember u told me that ic sat = 7.5mAThe current in the collector is NOT 7.5 mA.
every time i think i got the solution u tell me that there is a mistake so i go back to where i started i feel hopless
