PPT DIAGRAMS. 1
 Objectives :

Up on the completion of this topic, you will be able to

understand relation between

• Alpha & Beta, Alpha & Gamma.

EC105.144 2
• Relation between Alpha (α) and Beta (β)

• We know that α = (∆IC)/(∆IE)

VCB = constant

β = (∆IC)/(∆IB)

VCE = constant.

EC105.144 3
• In any transistor configuration.

IE = I B + IC.

• Change in current ∆ I E = ∆ I B + ∆ I C.

• Dividing the above equation with ∆ IC we get

(∆ IE)/(∆ IC) = {(∆ IB)/(∆ IC) + (∆ IC )/(∆ IC )}.

EC105.144 4
• (1/ α) = (1/ β) + 1.

∀ α = (β)/(1+ β).

• Rearranging the above equation we get β = (α)/(1- α).

EC105.144 5
• Relation between Alpha (α) and Gamma (γ).

• We know that α = (∆IC)/(∆IE).

VCB = constant.

γ = (∆IC)/(∆IB).

VCC = constant.

EC105.144 6
• In any transistor configuration.

IE = I B + IC

• Change in current ∆ I E = ∆ IB + ∆ IC

• Dividing the above equation with ∆ IE we get

(∆ IE)/(∆ IE) = {(∆ IB)/(∆ IE) + (∆ IC )/(∆ IE )}.

EC105.144 7
• 1 = {(1)/(γ)} + α .

∀ α = (γ-1)/ γ.

• Rearranging the above equation we get γ = (1)/(1- α).

EC105.144 8
Summary

∀ α = (β)/(1+ β).

∀ β = (α)/(1- α).

∀ γ = (1)/(1- α).

∀ α = (γ-1)/ γ.
