Extrapolating the output characteristics backwards, the intercept on the voltage axis is

  • A.Where the extrapolated output characteristics meet
  • B.The voltage at which the device enters saturation
  • C.The collector-base breakdown voltage of the device
  • D.The base-emitter drop at the rated collector current

Answer: A

Extrapolating the output characteristics backwards, they converge on the negative voltage axis, and that intercept is the Early voltage - a large value meaning flat characteristics and high output resistance. Saturation voltage, breakdown voltage and the base drop are all separate parameters. A figure defined by an extrapolated intercept is a convenient way to summarise a slope, and it appears the same way in several device models. Framing the question as which quantity the change acts upon makes the answer follow without calculation.
