Question

Find the end points of the load line for the circuit given below:

Answer 1

Applying KVL to collector circuit, We get,
V_cc = I_cR_c + V_ce
16 = I_c x 4 x 10³ + V_ce …………. (1)
Put I_c = 0 in equation (1), we get,
V_CE ( cut off)
= V_cc
= 16 V
This is cut off point on the x-axis.
Put V_CE = 0 in equation (1), we get,
16 = I_C x 4 x 10³ + 0, I_C = 16 x 10^-3/4 = 4mA.
This is saturation point on y axis
