How to Evaluate Collector Current of BJT?

Collector Current of BJT evaluator uses Collector Current = Emitter Current-Base Current to evaluate the Collector Current, The Collector Current of BJT carried by the electrons that reach the collector region. Its direction will be opposite to that of the flow of electrons, and thus into the collector terminal. Collector Current is denoted by Ic symbol.

How to evaluate Collector Current of BJT using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Collector Current of BJT, enter Emitter Current (Ie) & Base Current (IB) and hit the calculate button.
