Question
### Transistor Biasing Circuit Analysis

#### Problem Statement

In the figure below, solve for \( I_B \), \( I_C \), and \( V_{CE} \). Also, construct a DC load line showing the values of \( I_{C(sat)} \), \( V_{CE(off)} \), \( I_{CQ} \), and \( V_{CEQ} \).

#### Circuit Diagram

The given circuit diagram is as follows:

- The supply voltage \( V_{CC} \) is 12 V.
- The base resistor \( R_B \) is 390 kΩ.
- The collector resistor \( R_C \) is 1.5 kΩ.
- The current gain \( \beta_{DC} \) is 150.

#### Step-by-Step Solution

1. **Solve for \( I_B \) (Base Current):**

   Using the formula for base current,
   \[
   I_B = \frac{V_{CC} - V_{BE}}{R_B + (\beta_{DC} \cdot R_E)}
   \]
   
   Assuming \( V_{BE} \approx 0.7V \) (typical for silicon transistors),
   \[
   I_B = \frac{12V - 0.7V}{390k\Omega} \approx \frac{11.3V}{390k\Omega}  \approx 29 \mu A
   \]

2. **Solve for \( I_C \) (Collector Current):**

   Using the current gain relationship,
   \[
   I_C = \beta_{DC} \cdot I_B 
   \]
   \[
   I_C = 150 \cdot 29 \mu A \approx 4.35 mA 
   \]

3. **Solve for \( V_{CE} \) (Collector-Emitter Voltage):**

   Using the formula for \( V_{CE} \),
   \[
   V_{CE} = V_{CC} - (I_C \cdot R_C) 
   \]
   \[
   V_{CE} = 12V - (4.35mA \cdot 1.5k\Omega) \approx 12V - 6.525V \approx 5.475V 
   \]
