The current flowing into the collector lead of a certain bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is measured to be 1 nA. If no charge was transferred in or out of the collector lead prior to t = 0, and the current flows for 1 min. calculate the total charge which crosses into the collector.

the total charge which crosses into the collector is 60 nC

Explanation:

Given the data in the question;

current flowing into the collector lead of the bipolar junction transistor (BJT); i = 1 nA = 10⁻⁹ A

no charge was transferred in or out of the collector lead prior to t = 0

the current flow time t = 1 min = 60 sec

Now we write the relation between current, charge, and time;

i = dq / dt

where i is current, q is charge and t is time. { d refers to change }

Now,

q = 60 × 10⁻⁹ C

q = 60 nC

Therefore, the total charge which crosses into the collector is 60 nC

the warning light flashes for a second or two when the engine starts. if it stays on, there's must be something wrong with the coolant. you should never dare to continue driving when the light is on. pull over as soon as possible and shut the engine off.

hope this is what you're talking about
