Response to the following problem:
For the transistor configuration of Fig.
a. Solve for the currents IB, IC, and IE using the fact that VBE = 0.7 V and VCE = 8 V.
b. Find the voltages VB, VC, and VE with respect to ground.
c. What is the ratio of output current IC to input current IB?
[Note: In transistor analysis this ratio is referred to as the dc beta of the transistor (bdc).]
