a. Sketch the maximum-power curve of P_D = 200 mW on the graph of Fig. 17.56 List any noteworthy conclusions.

b. Determine β_dc (defined by I_C/I_F) for the system at V_CE = 15 V, I_F = 10 mA.

c. Compare the results of part (b) with those obtained from Fig. 17.55 at I_F = 10 mA. Do they compare? Should they? Why?
