It all depends which lead is connected to the common power supply, Emitter, base or collector.

For most amplification needs using NPN transistors, common emitter is used.

Other applications are used for current control and regulation circuits.

The difference between a common base and a common emitter configuration in relation to BJT is that a common base stays firm while a common emitter can make small movements or sound waves. In other words, their basically different configurations on the same item.

How do you make common base transistor or circuit?

it is one of the configuration of BJT ,which is achieved by making the BASE grounded(i.e common base).Here the emmiter serves as the input and collector as the output.


Why in common collector amplifier however you change value of resistance not amplifier in voltage?

The question does not quite make sense. It sounds like you are asking why does changing the emitter resistor in a class C common collector amplifier not affect the output voltage? If so, the answer is that the common collector is an emitter follower, meaning that the emitter will follow the base, less the base-emitter junction voltage, within the limits of hFe. The resistor is simply there to ensure output biasing when the base voltage goes low.


Can you use transistor as diode?

its the simplest thing to do. There are three legs in a transistor, one each of collector, base and emitter. So if you need to use it as a diode, just connect either collector-base or emitter-base. Say, if you use an NPN transistor, then the base region will be the anode of diode and emitter or collector will be the cathode of the diode.


Why is collector current increased slowly with the increase of collector to emitter voltage of a common emitter?

The percentage of doping in emitter is higher than collector region.hence large current is flow to emitter than collector.


What do you mean by common emmiter configuration?

In whch emitter is cmmön.input is taken frm base nd output is obtaind acros collector.

What is the difference between common base emitter transistor and common base transistor?

Common base transistor if the emitter is open current Ie=0 but a small collector current thus exist.this current is reversed biased collector to the base voltage it is represented by Icbo while common emitter is d base terminal is open circuit and the base junction is reversed biased current Icbo flow from the tcollector to the emitter in the external circuit this current is called leakage current.


What is common collector bipolar junction?

A circuit in which the input signal is applied to its base and the collector is earthed (grounded) is known as common collector configuration of BJT (BiPolar Junction Transistor)


What is the input current for common collector?

from the name itself the common collector has its collector terminal in common with both the input and output circuits of a transistor and the base current is chosen as the input current and the output current is the emitter current


What do you called the center element between the emitter and collector in a transistor?

The base.


What is transistor action?

The transistor has three regions, emitter,base and collector. The base is much thinner than the emitter while the collector is wider than both. However for the sake of convenience the emitter and collector are usually shown to be of equal size. The transistor has two pn junctions that means it is like two diodes. The junction between emitter and base may be called emitter-base diode or simply the emitter diode.The junction between base and collector may be called collector-base diode or simply collector diode. The emitter diode is always forward biased and the collector diode is always reverse biased.


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.

What is the base word of collector?

The base word of "collector" is "collect."


Is the collector current dependent on colllector- emitter voltage in BJTs?

No. For BJTs, they have a natural amplification, B, of current between the base current to collector current. In rough calculations, I've often used 50. So applying 20uA of current to the base of a BJT should cause 1mA of current to flow through the collector (assuming base, collector, and emitter resistors are sized appropriately so this is not limitted). The emitter will see the base current + the collector current.

What is an explanation of different transistor configurations?

there are 3 types of configuratons......they are 1.common emmiter configuration 2.common collector configuration 3.common base configuration


How common emitter acts as a switch?

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.
