Transistors
The following light activated switch, turns on a lamp when the outside light level falls
below a preset value.

(a) The transistor is just saturated when VIN = 2.5V When the transistor is saturated, calculate
(i) the collector current if the lamp has a resistance of 200Ω.

(i) the ideal value for resistor R;

(b) The resistance of the LDR is 1.5kΩ when the illumination level is 60 lux.
Show by calculation whether the transistor is saturated at this level of illumination
Calculate the V ¿at 60 lux
