In response to the control signal on the base, the transistor switches on or off, effectively shorting the collector to the grounded emitter or opening leaving the collector floating.

With a common emitter amplifier it's the emitter that is usually grounded.


In a common emitter transistor the primary purpose of a resistor connected to the emitter is to?

The emitter resistor in a common emitter configuration provides negative feedback to the transistor, reducing both its voltage gain and distortion.


What is the difference between a CB amplifier and CE and emitter-follower?

I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.


What do you mean by common emitter configuration and biasing pnp transistors?

A common emitter BJT transistor has the emitter ground. So u measure input voltage at base with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter and also u measure the output voltage at collector with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter. Hence, the emitter is common and thus the name.

Why there is 180 degrees phase shift in common emitter amplifier?

In the common emitter amplifier, an increase of base-emitter current causes a larger increase of collector emitter current. This means that, as the base voltage increases, the collector voltage decreases. This is a 180 degree phase shift.


What is the effect of emitter resistance in common emitter amplifier?

The gain of a common-emitter amplifier is collector resistor divided by emitter resistor, or hFe, whichever is less. Since hFe depends on temperature, designing the amplifier to be dependent on resistance ratio makes it more stable. As such, the emitter resistance serves to stabilize the amplifier.


What are the bias condition of the base emitter and base collector junction for a transistor to operate as a switch?

In order for a transistor to operate as a switch, the base-emitter current must be greater than the collector-emitter current divided by a factor of hFe. In this state, the transistor operates in saturated mode, fully turning on.

Capacitor from emitter to ground in common emitter circuit is called?

The capacitor is called a bypass capacitor , it provides a low impedence path for AC emitter current to groun.


Why a capacitor is used for amplification in common emitter circuit?

A: The ratio of emitter/collector resistance is the gain. by adding a capacitor on the emitter the AC parameters will shift as a function of frequency


Why output of common emitter amplifier is inverted?

In a common emitter amplifier, the base-emitter current causes a corresponding collector-emitter current, in the ratio of hFe (beta gain) or collector resistance over emitter resistance, which ever is less. Since this ratio is usually greater than one, the differential collector current is greater than the differential base current. This results in amplification of the base signal. As you increase the base-emitter current, the collector-emitter current also increases. This results in the collector being pulled towards the emitter, with the result that the differential collector voltage decreases. This results in inversion of the base signal.
