In an ideal BJT current mirror using matched transistors, the reference current is 2 mA. Neglecting base currents and mismatch, the mirrored output current is approximately?

  • A0.2 mA
  • B1 mA
  • C2 mA
  • D20 mA
Report an error
Correct Answer: C. 2 mA
Explanation: For matched transistors with equal base-emitter voltage, the ideal mirror reproduces the reference current, so the output is approximately 2 mA.
