1. An emitter biased dual input, balanced output differential amplifier has the following
specification:
|VCC| = |-VEE| = 10 V, RC1 = RC2 = 5.6 K, RE = 3.9 K,  = 100, VBE = 0.715 V.
Calculate
a) The operating current and voltage values for each transistor,
b) The voltage gain,
c) The input resistance of the circuit

2. For the circuit shown in Fig.1, determine the emitter current in transistor Q3. Given that
