Its Thevenin resistance is about

  • A.8.2 kilohms
  • B.57 kilohms, being the sum of the two resistors in the divider
  • C.37 kilohms
  • D.10 kilohms, the value of the lower arm taken on its own

Answer: A

The two arms appear in parallel to the base:

\[ \begin{aligned} R_{th} &= \frac{47 \times 10}{57} \\ &\approx 8.2 \ \mathrm{k\Omega} \end{aligned} \]

so about 8.2 kilohms. For a stiff divider this must be well below the impedance looking into the base, which with a 1.2 k emitter resistor and a beta of 100 is over 120 k - so the condition is comfortably met. Computing both numbers and comparing them is the whole stiffness check.
