Answer

0.24 mA

Work Step by Step

Use Ohm’s law. The ac output current multiplied by the output resistance equals the ac output voltage. $$V_{out}=i_CR$$ $$i_C=\frac{V_{out}}{R}$$ We are told the gain of the transistor amplifier and the ac base current, so we can calculate the ac output current. $$V_{out}=(\beta_V)(V_{in})$$ $$i_C=\frac{V_{out}}{R}=\frac{(\beta_V)(V_{in})}{R}$$ $$ =\frac{(75)(0.080V)}{25\times10^3 \Omega}=2.4\times10^{-4}A$$
