Under normal circumstances, which BJT terminal currents are approximately equal in value?
A) IC and IB
B) IC and IE
C) IE and IB
D) No two currents are ever approximately equal in value

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

IC and IE are approximately equal in value because the base current IB is much smaller than the collector and emitter currents in a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor), making IC ≈ IE in most operating conditions.
