Updated on: September 25th, 2023
Choose the right answer to the question; a collector characteristic curve is a graph showing the following options and a detailed explanation.
- Emitter current (IE) versus collector-emitter voltage (VCE) with (VBB) base bias voltage held constant.
- Collector current (IC) versus collector-emitter voltage (VCE) with (VBB) base bias voltage held constant.
- Base current (IB) versus collector-emitter voltage (VCE) with (VBB) base bias voltage held constant.
- Collector current (IC) versus supply voltage (VCC) with (VBB) base bias voltage held constant.

Answer – B.
Collector current (IC) versus collector-emitter voltage (VCE ) with (VBB) base bias voltage held constant.
Solution
The detailed solution to the question, a collector characteristic curve, is a graph.
A collection of collector characteristic curves that display how the collector current, IC, varies with the collector-to-emitter voltage, VCE, for specific values of base current, IB, can be produced using the circuit shown below:
Even though there is a very modest collector leakage current, the transistor is in the cutoff area when IB = 0. The nonconducting state of a transistor is known as a cutoff.
