[amp_mcq option1=”The value of à is ___________ A. 100″ option2=”50″ option3=”about 1″ option4=”200″ correct=”option3″]
The correct answer is $\boxed{\text{B. 50}}$.
The value of $\beta$ (beta) is the ratio of collector current to base current. In this case, $I_C = 100 \text{ mA}$ and $I_B = 0.2 \text{ mA}$, so $\beta = \frac{I_C}{I_B} = \frac{100 \text{ mA}}{0.2 \text{ mA}} = 50$.
Option A is incorrect because $I_C$ is not equal to $I_B$. Option C is incorrect because $I_C$ is much greater than $I_B$. Option D is incorrect because $I_C$ is much less than $I_B$.
