The maximum collector current is normally rated to be the current at which the DC current gain (hFE) falls to 50% of its maximum value. The maximum peak current is Page 2 Operation notes Transistors Rev.A 2/7 rated at a value which ensures reliability within the maximum allowed junction temperature.
What else can I help you with?
What is the current gain value of BC 148 transistor?
The hFe (current gain) on the BC148 ranges from a minimum value of 20 to 100, depending on collector current, with a maximum value of 300.
Why does collector current increase with base current?
the collector current is directly proportional to the base current
Variation in beta DC to collector current?
variation in beta dc with collector current
What is the input current for common collector?
from the name itself the common collector has its collector terminal in common with both the input and output circuits of a transistor and the base current is chosen as the input current and the output current is the emitter current
In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?
No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.
When a transistor is saturated the collector current is maximum.?
When a transistor is in saturation, it means that both the base-emitter and base-collector junctions are forward-biased, allowing maximum current to flow from the collector to the emitter. In this state, the transistor acts like a closed switch, and the collector current reaches its highest possible value, limited primarily by the external circuit rather than the transistor's properties. This condition is essential in applications like switching circuits, where the goal is to minimize the voltage drop across the transistor and maximize current flow.

Why current fluxcuate in collector current?
I suppose you mean "fluctuate". Collector current depends mostly on the base current, If the base current changes, the collector current will change in proportion.
Why is collector current increased slowly with the increase of collector to emitter voltage of a common emitter?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
Variation in beta DC to collector current?
variation in beta dc with collector current
Why is collector current less than emitter current?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
What is the input current for common collector?
from the name itself the common collector has its collector terminal in common with both the input and output circuits of a transistor and the base current is chosen as the input current and the output current is the emitter current
What is the effect of increasing the resistance of the potentiometer to the current flowing in the collector of the transistor?
the collector voltage is lowered, because the collector is essentially a current source controlled by the base emitor current
In a npn transistor does the collector current reach an upper limit as the base current gets smaller?
No. As base current decreases, so does collector current.
Why is collector current slightly less than emitter?
The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.
Is the collector current dependent on colllector- emitter voltage in BJTs?
No. For BJTs, they have a natural amplification, B, of current between the base current to collector current. In rough calculations, I've often used 50. So applying 20uA of current to the base of a BJT should cause 1mA of current to flow through the collector (assuming base, collector, and emitter resistors are sized appropriately so this is not limitted). The emitter will see the base current + the collector current.
