An $n-p-n$ transistor in a common-emitter mode is used as a simple voltage-amplifier with a collector- current of $4 \,mA$. The terminals of a $8\, V$ battery is connected to the collector through a load-resistance $R_L$ and to the base through a resistance $R_B$. The collector-emitter voltage $V_{CE} = 4 \,V$, the base-emitter voltage $V_{BE} = 0.6 \,V$ and the current amplification factor $\beta_{dc} = 100$. Then
