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 is the difference between voltage gain obtained with bypass capacitor and without the bypass capacitor?

A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input


What is collector bypass capacitor?

A: It is not a bypass it is a negative feedback to effect the input voltage, Bias is when a DC voltage is applied to insure proper operation


Effect of the capacitor to the low frequency waveform?

The differential equation for a capacitor is dv/dt = i/c. Set that up in a circuit and force an AC power source, such as sin(theta), and you will see that lowering the frequency will increase the equivalent resistance. I'll leave that exercise for you. The net result is that a series capacitor is a high-pass filter, while a parallel capacitor is a low-pass filter.


How do coupling capacitors effect the frequency response of c e amplifier?

coupling capacitors are generally used to couple the the AC component of voltage to the DC component(biased voltage) of the transistor amplifier . As we know that the capacitor itself has some reactance which is variable with the applied frequency Rc=1/wc where w=frequency in radians = 2*pi*f and f= frequency of circuit. and, V=VC+VIN VC= voltage drop on capacitor VIN= resultant voltage available for the transistor for amplification so as, frequency increases reactance decreases drop on C decreases so, voltage available for transistor increases and now you can analyse yourself for the case if frequency decreases

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.

How does doubling the frequency effect the reactance of an inducter and capacitor?

for inductor, reactance XL = 2*pi* f *L, if frequency doubles then reactance increase. But for capacitor, reactance Xc = 1/(2*pi*f*C). In this case if frequency doubles the reactance decrease.

What is the difference between a standard capacitor and a coupling capacitor?

Coupling capacitors are used to couple different stages so as to prevent DC from the o/p of one stage to go into the i/p of the next stage. For instance in coupling two BJT (bipolar junction transistors) it is required to use coupling capacitor to allow only ac signal from the o/p of fisrt stage to go to i/p of next BJT as incoming dc can distrub the biasing of the other BJT. Bypass capacitors are used to bypass the ac signal to ground. A capacitor is connected b/w the gnd and the wire. For ac signal capacitor will behave as short and will bypass it. However dc will not be bypassed as capacitor will behave as open for DC.

Advantages and disadvantages of differentiator circuits?

At high frequencies an op-amp differentiator circuit becomes unstable and will start to oscillate. This is due mainly to the first-order effect, which determines the frequency response of the op-amp circuit causing a second-order response which, at high frequencies, gives an output voltage far higher than what would be expected. To avoid this, the high frequency gain of the circuit needs to be reduced by adding an additional small value capacitor across the feedback resistor Rf .


What is the effect of capacitor in the output noise?

The capacitor on it's own is of no use, it is always used in an RC or LC configuration normally in audio frequency's the RC is used to filter the noise down to earth where the RC circuit have to resonate at the same frequency as the noise, the lower the frequency the larger the value of the capacitor


What is difference between skin effect and franty effect?

skin effect that happen because the current pass at the edge of the cable in the ac current because of the frequency but in the dc the current pass throw the whole conductor the franty effect the stray capacitor increase the voltage on the line due to light load and the
