Current gain is the ratio of output current divided by input current.

Voltage gain is the ratio of output voltage divided by input voltage.

Nothing more complicated than that.

What is the voltage gain and current gain for a voltage follower?

In a voltage follower, voltage gain is 1, with an offset of VB-E, and current gain is hFe, limited, of course, by the available current in the supply and by the rating of the transistor.


Why common emitter configuration is preferred?

Reason: The common Emitter mode has voltage and current gain better than the other two configurations(CB and CC). i.e it has a current gain greater than that of CC mode and greater voltage gain than that of CB mode.


Why CE configuration is most common?

CC gives only current gain, but no voltage gain; gives only limited power gainCB gives only voltage gain, but no current gain; gives only limited power gainCE gives both voltage and current gain; gives large power gain


How do you calculate the current gain of a transistor JFET?

FETs don't have current gain as no current flows through the gate. The gain of a FET is a voltage gain and is called mu.


What is the Primary function of a voltage follower circuit?

Its purpose is to provide approximately the same voltage to a load as what is input to the amplifier, but at a much greater current. In other words, it has no voltage gain, but it does have current gain.


Which configuration of bipolar junction transistor which will give both current gain and voltage gain?

high voltage gain :- common base since the ratio of output impedance to the input impermanence is very high in common base mode high current gain :-common collector since it is the ratio of Ie/Ib


Is it possible to amplify voltage and current gain at the same time?

yes


Definntion of active elements?

An active electronic element is one that can produce voltage gain or current gain.


What does the electronic term Vb mean?

Base voltage in a transistor. There is also Vc (Collector voltage), Ve(Emitter voltage), Ic(Collector current), Ib(Base current), Ie(Emitter current), Vcc(Supply voltage), and Hfe (Forward current gain)


Common collector amplifier does not have voltage gain but still provide power gain?

It still has a current gain significantly high though the voltage gain is close to unity.


Why CC configuration is preferred for buffering?

it is noninverting and while it gives no voltage gain it gives a large current gain.


What you suggest to icrease the voltage gain if you found that the total votlage gain is low?

if you like the voltage is same but current different because you are don't understand this type question
