What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?
Deepaksakre
Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.

What is purpose of emmiter bypass capacitor in R-C coupled amplifier?
Emitter bypass capacitor is a capacitor which provide low impedance to AC and high impedance to DC . AC is shunt then only DC appears on RC and volage gain increses.
Why is gain affected when the bypass capacitor is open?
Applied input signal at the base of the amplifier appears across the emitter resistor (RE) due to inter electrode capacitance so it should be bypassed the emitter resistor (RE) through the bypass capacitor (CB). unbypassed signal will be amplified (common emitter amplifier) and reverse back from the emitter to the collector through the base, amplified signal from the emitter to the collector (common emitter amplifier) is 1800 out of phase to the amplified signal from the base to the collector (common base amplifier), so reduced the gain.
What is the effect of bypass capacitor on frequency response?
Gain in a CE configuration of a BJT is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, subject to the limit of hFe. The emitter bypass capacitor will have lower impedance at high frequency, so the gain will be higher at higher frequency, making this a high-pass amplifier.
What happens when you remove capacitor in filter circuit?
The capacitors allow the signal to pass through, while 'blocking' the DC voltage level that the signal is 'riding' on. Are you asking to remove the capacitor and connect it straight through? If you had a multistage amplifier, then the DC riding voltage would try to get amplified as well, and the next stage amplifier would probably 'max out' and you'd wind up with just solid DC output, or components further along in the circuit could be damaged. If you're asking if the capacitor was taken out (like if it blew) then no signal would get through.
What is function of emitter bypass capacitor?
A: THE EMITTER resistor sole function is to provide stability if it is by passed by a capacitor then this resistance will change due to frequency since as frequency increases the impedance decreases. The total gain will change accordingly
What is the output resistance of common emitter amplifier with emitter resistor and without bypass capacitor?
Without a bypass capacitor it is just equal to Rc
What is the effect on voltage gain in a common emitter amplifier when the decoupling capacitor is removed?
The emitter bypass capacitor, in a typical common emitter configuration, increases gain as a function of frequency, making a high pass filter. Removing the capacitor will remove the gain component due to frequency, and the amplifier will degrade to its DC characteristics.
What is the function of emitter bypass capacitor in common emitter amplifier?
The emitter bypass capacitor in a common emitter amplifier will have less resistance as the frequency increases. Since gain in this configuration is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance (within limits of hFe), the gain will thus increase for higher frequencies, making this into a high pass filter.

When capacitors are used to shunt current across components such as resistors they are called?
A capacitor is typically placed across a resistor for the purpose of shunting either the AC component of a current (as in a transistor amplifier) or transient AC 'spikes', and is referred to as a "bypass capacitor".
Why does the bypass capacitor decrease the input impedance in common emitter amplifier?
You would use a supply bypass capacitor in a common collector amplifier... It's necessary, to give the positive supply rail a direct AC connection to ground. Without it, I don't think the amplifier would work properly. However, if you're using a power supply and not a battery, then chances are that it HAS a big capacitor inside it, eliminating the need for any external capacitor.
What is the emitter bypass capacitor?
The capacitor helps to keep the quiesent point fixed. During its operation it bypasses the ac component. If the ac also flows through this emitter link then as we know by parameter equations emitter current and ce voltage changes hence varying q point.
