In a common-emitter transistor amplifier, the audio signal voltage across the collector is 3 V3\text{ V}. The resistance of the collector is 3 kΩ3\text{ k}\Omega. If the current gain is 100100 and the base resistance is 2 kΩ2\text{ k}\Omega, the voltage and power gain of the amplifier are:

A

100 and 1000

B

15 and 200

C

150 and 15000

D

20 and 2000

Step-by-Step Solution

  1. Identify the Given Data: Collector resistance (output resistance), Rc=3 kΩR_c = 3\text{ k}\Omega Base resistance (input resistance), Rb=2 kΩR_b = 2\text{ k}\Omega Current gain, β=100\beta = 100 (Note: The 3 V3\text{ V} collector voltage is extra information not needed for finding the gains if β\beta and the resistances are known).
  2. Calculate Voltage Gain (AvA_v): The voltage gain in a common-emitter amplifier is the product of current gain and resistance gain. Av=β×RcRbA_v = \beta \times \frac{R_c}{R_b} Av=100×3 kΩ2 kΩ=100×1.5=150A_v = 100 \times \frac{3\text{ k}\Omega}{2\text{ k}\Omega} = 100 \times 1.5 = 150
  3. Calculate Power Gain (ApA_p): The power gain is the product of current gain and voltage gain. Ap=β×AvA_p = \beta \times A_v Ap=100×150=15000A_p = 100 \times 150 = 15000
  4. Conclusion: The voltage gain is 150150 and the power gain is 1500015000.
