Solution

The correct option is A $β$ times $I_{b}$
In CE amplifier, current gain is given by:
$\frac{I_{c}}{I_{b}} = β$
Therefore, $I_{c} = β \times I_{b}$

Input charcteristics: It is the graph drawn between input current and input voltage when output voltage is kept constant.

Output characteristics : It is the graph drawn between output current and output voltage when input current is kept constant.

(a) Input resitance

(R_{i}

= {[\frac{Change in emitter base voltage (△ V_{B E})}{Change in base current (△ I_{B})}]}_{at constant V_{C E}}
