In a transistor amplifier, the base-emitter junction is forward-biased and the collector-base junction is reverse-biased. The current gain $(\beta)$ is defined as:

  • A
    $\Delta I_C / \Delta I_B$
  • B
    $\Delta I_B / \Delta I_C$
  • C
    $\Delta I_C / \Delta I_E$
  • D
    $\Delta I_B / \Delta I_E$
