High-power transistors (over 1 W)typically have current gains of ________.
A) 1 to 10
B) 10 to 20
C) 20 to 100
D) 100 to 1000

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

High-power transistors typically have current gains in the range of 20 to 100. This is because as the power handling capability of the transistor increases, the current gain tends to decrease. A high current gain is desirable for low-power signal amplification, but for high-power applications, a lower current gain is acceptable as long as the transistor can handle high currents and voltages without getting damaged.
