SECTION 1: BJT SMALL-SIGNAL MODELS &
PARAMETERS (Questions 1–10)
1. A BJT amplifier is biased at I_C = 2 mA. If the thermal voltage V_T
= 25 mV, what is the small-signal transconductance g_m?
A) 80 mS
B) 40 mS
C) 20 mS
D) 100 mS
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: The transconductance is g_m = I_C / V_T = 2 mA / 25 mV = 0.08
S = 80 mS. This is a fundamental small-signal parameter for BJT amplifier
analysis .

2. The quantity r'_e (internal AC emitter resistance) can be
calculated as:
A) β / I_E
B) 25 mV / I_E (at room temperature)
C) V_CE / I_C
D) V_CC / R_C
Correct Answer: B
