If the collector resistor decreases to zero in a base- biased circuit, the load line will become

B)horizontal.
C)vertical.
D)flat.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

In a base-biased circuit, the collector resistor determines the slope of the load line on the output characteristics graph. If the collector resistor decreases to zero, the load line becomes vertical because the voltage drop across the collector resistor is zero, indicating that the collector current is independent of the collector-emitter voltage.

If the Collector Resistor Decreases to Zero in a Base-
