AIM: To obtain the input characteristics and d.c. current gain for a common
                  emitter configuration.

1. Connect the circuit as shown in figure 2.
2. Ask the supervisor to check the circuit connection.
3. Copy Table 2 into your answer booklet.

Table 2

1.   Turn on the switch (S1).
2.   Set the input voltage (V1), to 1V, measure and record in Table 2 the

   corresponding current (IC).

1.   Repeat step(e) for the other values of V1 inTable 2.
2.   Turn off switch S1.
3.   Complete Table 2.
4.   From the results obtained in Table 2, calculate the average value of the d.c.

  current gain (Ib).

1.   Plot a graph of IC (mA) on the vertical axis against Ib (mA) on the horizontal

  axis.

1.   Determine the slope of the graph in step (j).
2.   Comment briefly on the value of the slope obtained in step (k) with the

  calculated average value of the d.c. current gain (Ib).
