Collector Current Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Collector Current = Current Gain*Base Current
I_c = A_i*I_b
This formula uses 3 Variables

Variables Used

Collector Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Collector Current is the current that flows through the collector terminal of the transistor.
Current Gain - Current Gain is a measure of how much the collector current of a transistor amplifies the base current.
Base Current - (Measured in Ampere) - Base Current is the current that flows into the base terminal of the transistor.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Current Gain: 0.9 --> No Conversion Required
Base Current: 0.3 Ampere --> 0.3 Ampere No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

How does current flow in a transistor?

Current freely flows from collector to emitter. Cut-off -- The transistor acts like an open circuit. No current flows from collector to emitter. Active -- The current from collector to emitter is proportional to the current flowing into the base.

How to Calculate Collector Current?

Collector Current calculator uses Collector Current = Current Gain*Base Current to calculate the Collector Current, The Collector Current formula is defined as the current that flows through the collector terminal of the transistor. It is the main current that is controlled by the base current and flows from the collector to the emitter terminal. The collector current is responsible for carrying the amplified signal or power in most transistor circuits. Collector Current is denoted by I_c symbol.

How to calculate Collector Current using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Collector Current, enter Current Gain (A_i) & Base Current (I_b) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Collector Current calculation can be explained with given input values -> 0.405 = 0.9*0.3.

FAQ

What is Collector Current?

The Collector Current formula is defined as the current that flows through the collector terminal of the transistor. It is the main current that is controlled by the base current and flows from the collector to the emitter terminal. The collector current is responsible for carrying the amplified signal or power in most transistor circuits and is represented as I_c = A_i*I_b or Collector Current = Current Gain*Base Current. Current Gain is a measure of how much the collector current of a transistor amplifies the base current & Base Current is the current that flows into the base terminal of the transistor.

How to calculate Collector Current?

The Collector Current formula is defined as the current that flows through the collector terminal of the transistor. It is the main current that is controlled by the base current and flows from the collector to the emitter terminal. The collector current is responsible for carrying the amplified signal or power in most transistor circuits is calculated using Collector Current = Current Gain*Base Current. To calculate Collector Current, you need Current Gain (A_i) & Base Current (I_b). With our tool, you need to enter the respective value for Current Gain & Base Current and hit the calculate button. You can also select the units (if any) for Input(s) and the Output as well.
