Collector Current using Leakage Current Formula Elements

Variables
Collector Current
Collector current is an amplified output current of a bipolar junction transistor.
Symbol: Ic
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Base Current
Base Current is a crucial current of bipolar junction transistor. Without the base current, the transistor cannot turn on.
Symbol: IB
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Common Emitter Current Gain
Common emitter current gain is influenced by 2 factors: width of base region W, and relative dopings of base region and emitter region. Its range varies from 50-200.
Symbol: β
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be between 49 to 201.
Collector Emitter Leakage Current
Collector Emitter Leakage Current is a small current that flows if the base is open-circuited and the collector is reverse biased with respect to emitter.
Symbol: Ice0
Measurement: Electric CurrentUnit: mA
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
