In the circuit shown in the figure, when the input voltage of the base resistance is 10 V, VBE is zero and VCE is also zero. Find the value of IB, IC and β.

                        

Hint: Vi-VBE=iBRB and VCC-VCE=iCRC
Step 1: Find the base current.
Given,
voltage across RB=10V
Resistance RB=400 
VBE=0, VCE=0, RC=3 
IB=Voltage across RBRB=10400×103=25×10-6 A=25 μA
Step 2: Find the collector current.
Voltage across RC=10V
IC=Voltage across RCRC=103×103
=3.33×10-3 A=3.33 mA
β=ICIB=3.33×10-325×10-6
=1.33×102=133
