Question

The maximum possible negative output signal swing as determined by the need to keep the transistor in the active region.

(a) 0.5 V

(b) 1 V

(c) 5 V

(d) 10 V

I got this question in my homework.

The doubt is from BJT in Amplifier Design topic in division Bipolar Junction Triodes (BJTs) of Electronic Devices & Circuits

Answer 1

Correct choice is (c) 5 V

To explain: It is given by -10 + 10 + (Ic X Rc). Putting Ic as 5 mA we get 5V.
