a. Using the characteristics of Fig. 3.8 determine the resulting collector current if I_E = 3.5 mA and V_CB = 10 V.

b. Repeat part (a) for I_E = 3.5 mA and V_CB = 20 V.

c. How have the changes in V_CB affected the resulting level of I_C ?

d. On an approximate basis, how are I_E and I_C related based on the results above?
