How to Evaluate Base Resistance?

Base Resistance evaluator uses Base Resistance = Cut-off Frequency in BJT/(8*pi*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2*Collector Base Capacitance) to evaluate the Base Resistance, The Base Resistance formula is defined as a base resistor that controls the amount of current entering the base junction of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) to cause it to conduct in the saturation region. Base Resistance is denoted by Rb symbol.

How to evaluate Base Resistance using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Base Resistance, enter Cut-off Frequency in BJT (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm) & Collector Base Capacitance (Cc) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Base Resistance

What is the formula to find Base Resistance?
The formula of Base Resistance is expressed as Base Resistance = Cut-off Frequency in BJT/(8*pi*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2*Collector Base Capacitance). Here is an example- 0.983203 = 30/(8*pi*69^2*0.000255).
How to calculate Base Resistance?
With Cut-off Frequency in BJT (fco), Maximum Frequency of Oscillations (fm) & Collector Base Capacitance (Cc) we can find Base Resistance using the formula - Base Resistance = Cut-off Frequency in BJT/(8*pi*Maximum Frequency of Oscillations^2*Collector Base Capacitance). This formula also uses Archimedes' constant .
Can the Base Resistance be negative?
No, the Base Resistance, measured in Electric Resistance cannot be negative.
Which unit is used to measure Base Resistance?
Base Resistance is usually measured using the Ohm[Ω] for Electric Resistance. Megohm[Ω], Microhm[Ω], Volt per Ampere[Ω] are the few other units in which Base Resistance can be measured.
