How to Evaluate Total Base Current?

Total Base Current evaluator uses Base Current = Base Current 1+Base Current 2 to evaluate the Base Current, The Total base current a common-base (also known as grounded-base) amplifier is one of three basic single-stage bipolar junction transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used as a current buffer or voltage amplifier. Base Current is denoted by IB symbol.
