Emitter biasing is when you add a resistor between the emitter
of a transistor and the 0v rail so that any voltage developed
across the emitter will subtract from the voltage on the base and
effectively turn the transistor OFF.
We are talking about an NPN transistor and the transistor is an
"ordinary transistor" or BJT (bi-polar Junction Transistor). For
more information on transistor biasing see: Talking Electronics
