The correct answer is: 1.57 mA, 49
For given electrons

Emitter current Ie=neet

Where ne is the number of electrons enters into the emitter, e is the charge on electron and t is time.

Ie=1010×1.6×10-1910-6

Ie=1.6×10-3

Ie=1.6 mA

2% electrons are lost in base region hence base current Ib=2%×1.6×10-3 , therefore Ib=0.032 mA

Therefore Ic=Ie-Ib

Ic=1.6-0.032

Ic=1.57 mA

and the current amplification factor

β=IcIb=1.5680.032=49
