The current gain (α) of a transistor can be calculated using the formula:

α = IC / IB

Given that IB = 10μA and IC = 2mA, we can substitute these values into the formula:

α = 2mA / 10μA

First, we need to convert the units to ensure they are consistent.

1mA = 1000μA

So, IC = 2mA = 2 x 1000μA = 2000μA

Substituting the values:

α = 2000μA / 10μA = 200

Therefore, the current gain (α) of the transistor is 200.
