What it calculates

The “Transistor Bias” calculator computes Collector current Ic in mA from 7 parameters: supply voltage vcc (V), r1 (upper divider resistor) (kΩ), r2 (lower divider resistor) (kΩ), rc (collector) (kΩ), re (emitter) (kΩ), current gain β, voltage vbe (V).

A standard physics formula used in educational and engineering tasks.

Example calculation

With parameters Supply voltage Vcc = 12 V, R1 (upper divider resistor) = 47 kΩ, R2 (lower divider resistor) = 10 kΩ, Rc (collector) = 2.2 kΩ, Re (emitter) = 1 kΩ, Current gain β = 100, Voltage Vbe = 0.7 V the result is 1.29 mA.

How to use

  1. Enter supply voltage vcc, r1 (upper divider resistor), r2 (lower divider resistor), rc (collector), re (emitter), current gain β and voltage vbe — each field above is adjustable with a slider.
  2. Collector current Ic (mA) is calculated automatically as you type.
