Options:
  • A $20,000 \mathrm{~mA}$
  • B $200 \mathrm{~mA}$
  • C $2000 \mathrm{~mA}$
  • D $20 \mathrm{~mA}$

The correct answer is: $20 \mathrm{~mA}$
$\beta=\left(\frac{\Delta i_C}{\Delta i_B}\right)$
$80=\frac{\Delta i_C}{250 \times 10^{-6}}$
$\Delta i_C=80 \times 250 \times 10^{-6}$
$\Delta i_C=20000 \times 10^{-6}$
$=20 \times 10^{-3}=20 \mathrm{~mA}$
