For the BJT bias circuit shown, what value of Rc in kilohms is needed to allow the maximum possible peak-to-peak signal swing on the collector without clipping? Use Vcc = 12 V, Rb1 = 22.1 kΩ, Rb2 = 26.6 kΩ, and Re = 2.5 kΩ. Assume that to keep the transistor in the forward-active region, the base-collector junction cannot be forward biased. Use β = 46 and |Vbe(on)| = 0.7 V. Neglect the effects of base-width modulation. Answer:
