// To calculate required Gate source Resistance // Basic Electronics // By Debashis De // First Edition, 2010 // Dorling Kindersley Pvt. Ltd. India // Example 8-4 in page 378 clear; clc; close; // Given Data P=0.012; // Value of Allowable Gate Power Dissipation in watt Es=10; // Trigger Source Voltage in V slope=3*10^3; // Slope of Gate-Cathode Characteristic line // Calculations Ig=sqrt(P/slope); Vg=slope*Ig; Rs=(Es-Vg)/Ig; printf("(a)The value of Gate Resistance for the Circuit is %0.0f ohm \n",Rs); printf("(b)The value of the Gate Voltage is %0.2e V \n",Vg); printf("(c)The value of the Gate Current is %0.2e A \n",Ig); // Results // (a) The value of Gate Resistance for the Circuit is 2 K-ohm // (b) The value of the Gate Voltage is 6 V // (c) The value of the Gate Current is 2 mA
