From the given circuit, using silicon BJT, what is the value of the saturation collector current?(a) 5 mA(b) 5.36 mA(c) 5.45 mA(d) 10.9 mAI got this question in an international level competition.Origin of the question is BJT DC biasing topic in chapter BJT Biasing of Analog Circuits

Answer»

Correct answer is (B) 5.36 mA

To explain: To obtain an approximate answer, under saturation the BJT is ON and hence acts as a short CIRCUIT. HOWEVER, ideally a drop exists for the transistor which is a fixed value. For an exact answer, if the BJT is a Silicon transistor, then drop VCE = 0.2V and current is 12-0.2/2.2=5.36 mA.
