How to Evaluate Collector Current using Saturation Current?

Collector Current using Saturation Current evaluator uses Collector Current = Saturation Current*e^(Base-Emitter Voltage*[Charge-e]/([BoltZ]*300)) to evaluate the Collector Current, Collector current using saturation current is the direct current that passes through the collector at the saturation region. The collector current in a PNP transistor is carried by majority carriers (i.e., electrons) that flow from the collector region towards the emitter region. Collector Current is denoted by Ic symbol.
