// Given data
Vcc=20;// collector supply voltage in volts
Vbb=10;// base voltage in volts
Rc=5*10^3;// collector resistance in ohms
Rb=1*10^6;// base resistance in ohms
Bdc=50;

// Calculations
Icsat=Vcc/Rc;// saturation current in amperes
Ib=Vbb/Rb;// base current in amperes
Ic=Bdc*Ib;// collector current in amperes
disp(Ic)
disp(Icsat)
disp("Ic>Icsat")

// Result
// as Ic>Icsat ,the transistor is saturated
