The BJT characteristic curve
Electrical Engineering Asked by user97449 on November 28, 2021
Lets say you want to operate at 20uA base current.
To move along that 20uA graph, you need to vary Vce.
But to vary Vce, you either vary Vb (voltage at base) or change the values of the resistors at emitter or collector or the Vc (voltage at collector), is this correct?
One Answer
You are correct in your assumption that to vary Vce you must adjust the resistor values. The equation for the collector current (Ic) is as follows:
Now solve for Vce and you get:
Plug in Ic = Beta*Ib:
We know that beta and base current are generally constant (in your question), so as long as Vcc is also constant the only variable that you can adjust is the resistance.
