Hi all,
Its been an absolute age since I last did Kirchoff so I'm a little rusty. I'm trying to find the equations for voltage at two points in a simple circuit. Any help is appreciated!
As a transistor is involved, I'm assuming I should use the small signal model where the transistor can be replaced for a behavioural current source (where the current is equal to Beta*ib). In my image, VBase would be driven by a resistor connected between the transistor base and a constant power supply. For now, I'll be assuming that on voltage for the base of the transistor is 0.6V meaning Ib = (Vp-0.6)/Rb.
Knowing this, I can therefore replace the transistor for a current source where the current is equal to Beta*(Vp-0.6)/Rb. The problem for me now is finding the voltage equations at point Va and Vb. Could anybody enlighten me on how to do so? For Beta, I'll be using a quoted (from the datasheet for the BC337-40) value of 250.
Thanks!
