Hi
I have a newbie question on NPN transistors. I have built the circuit shown and have measured the current comming to the base as Ib = 0.4mA (This makes sense by doing V/R as well).
I have also measured the current comming from the emitter Ie = 2.82mA (This also makese by doin V/R).
My question is: how come I am getting such low Ie?
This gives an h = 7.
How can I boost the current comming out of the emitter say to 50mA as the NPN is rated for 100mA?
Thank you in advance.
