A circuit is arranged as shown in figure. The output voltage VO is equal to ______ V.
Answer: 5
Solution
In the steady state the input-diode network holds the base at a low potential, so the base–emitter junction is not forward biased and the transistor stays in cut-off. With no collector current there is no voltage drop across the collector resistor, and the output terminal sits at the collector supply potential. The output voltage is therefore VO=5 V.
