A: Vacuum tubes are current amplifiers transistors are voltage amplifier. The voltage drop across the collector resistor causes amplification since very little current in the base will change a large current in the collector.

What is current amplification of a transistor?

a transistor ampify the current i.e. you the output current proportional to the input one. in CE amplifier , this ratio is more than one Ic/Ib = current amplification factor this extra ampitude comes from the biasing batteries used.

Which of the transistor configuration is prefer?

It depends on what you want to do with the transistor. Class A, common emitter, is used for voltage amplification. Class C, common collector, is used for current amplification. There are other classes and configurations but, again, it depends on what you want to do.


What is hfe and hfc in transistor?

I don't know about hfc, but hFE is the amplification factor by which the transistor amplifies the base current. Therefore, if hFE is 100, the base current is amplified by a factor of 100.

How to increase the amplification of a single transistor microphone amplifier?

To increase the amplification of a single transistor microphone amplifier, you can adjust the resistor values in the circuit, particularly the emitter resistor and the load resistor. Increasing the resistor values can enhance the gain, while ensuring that the transistor remains in its active region. Additionally, using a transistor with a higher current gain (β) or optimizing the power supply voltage can also boost amplification. Lastly, consider adding a feedback network to stabilize and control the gain effectively.


Can you do amplification without transistor and is it possible to design oscillator using diode?

Magnetic amplifiers and vacuum tubes don't need transistors to amplificate electricity current. You can get a transistor by two oppositely connected diodes.

What is transition frequency of a transistor?

The transition frequency of a transistor is the frequency in which the transistor will no longer provide any amplification or gain output. The frequency is out of the transistors's range.


Why can a PNP transistor be used as a power amplifier if it is connected into a circuit in a manner such as that shown in the book Electricity and Electronics Figure 52?

A PNP transistor can be used as a power amplifier in a circuit because it can handle high power levels and provide amplification by controlling a large current with a small input signal. In Figure 52, the PNP transistor is configured in a common emitter configuration, allowing it to amplify the input signal by controlling the current flowing through the load connected to its collector terminal. The transistor acts as a switch that modulates the output current based on the input signal, providing amplification of power.


Why transistor action is lost if base width tends to zero?

Transistor action relies on the recombination and transport of charge carriers across the base region. If the base width tends to zero, the movement of carriers becomes too rapid, leading to insufficient time for recombination to occur, which is essential for the transistor's amplification properties. Consequently, the device behaves more like a diode, losing its ability to control current effectively, and thus, transistor action is lost.
