What configuration will give both voltage and current gain simultaneously?

amplifiers operated with Common emmitter configuration for bipolar transistors , will give both voltage & current gain . Though equivalent fet & mosfet circuit topologies exist , these amplifiers operate more on signal voltage on input & the signal current is negligible compared to a bipolar transistor.


What is the current gain of an NPN transistor?

It depends on which transistor. Typical values of hFe range between 50 and 400. It also depends on the configuration of the circuit, with hFe being a limiting factor, and most designs providing a gain less than hFe.


What is the use of transistor in water level indicator?

It is used to amplify the current. The common-emiiter amplifier is designed so that a small change in voltage (Vin) changes the small current through the base of the transistor; the transistor's current amplification combined with the properties of the circuit mean that small swings in Vin produce large changes in Vout. Various configurations of single transistor amplifier are possible, with some providing current gain, some voltage gain, and some both.


What is the voltage gain of the 2n2222 amplifier?

A: The gain of a transistor is not linear and even that varies from component to component. The gain can vary greatly depending on the Ic current and the load. Manufactures only give out a typical gain for a particular current. As a rule the lower the Ic current the higher the gain. To really find out what a particular transistor characteristics are a tektronik curve tracer is used.


What is the differences between fixed biased configuration and voltage divider configuration of a common BJT circuit?

In the fixed.bias biasing several key parameters of the amplifier depend on the Beta of the transistor. This parameter has a wide variation (often 5 to 1 or more) for a particular transistor type. Thus, if you need to make a production run of a number of identical amplifiers, this variation in the Beta is unacceptable. In the voltage-divider stabilized method the performance of the amplifier is independent of Beta (or almost). Thus, this design is suitable to be used in the production of a large number of identical devices. In terms of biasing, a voltage divider circuit helps offset the effect of changes in the beta value of the transistor. So it's said to be more 'stable' because heating of the transistor, or swapping transistors entirely (both of which affect beta) will not greatly affect the output of the circuit. As far as the actual output is concerned, I believe both circuits have similar input/output impedance ranges and similar voltage gains. But the fixed biased circuit typically has more current gain.

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.


Why the 2n2222 amplifier voltage gain is less than one?

Without knowing things about the circuit that you don't give, this question can't be answered. The 2N2222, as any other bipolar transistor, can give large amounts of voltage gain in both CE & CB configuration, but less than one voltage gain in CC configuration. Nothing is unique about the 2N2222.

Why cb configuration is preferred for amplification?

Actually ce configuration is preferred for amplification since it has a current gain of 20-500 and also has appreciable voltage and power gain. It has moderate output to input impedence ratio(about 50).

What is the voltage gain and current gain for a voltage follower?

In a voltage follower, voltage gain is 1, with an offset of VB-E, and current gain is hFe, limited, of course, by the available current in the supply and by the rating of the transistor.


Transistor as an amplifier common emitter configuration explanation using kirchhof's law?

Kirchoff's current law states that the current in every point in a series circuit is the same. In the case of a transistor in common emitter configuration, you can take advantage of that fact and state that the collector current is equal to the emitter current. The truth is somewhat different, because the gain of the transistor is not infinity, so the base current must be added to the emitter current. With a reasonably high gain, however, you can ignore the base current. Consider that the emitter voltage is related to the base voltage by the forward drop of the base-emitter junction, about 0.7 volts, and the collector and emitter currents are the same. Now look at the collector and emitter resistors. If the currents are the same, and the voltage across the emitter resistor is known, then you know the voltage across the collector resistor as well. This is an application of both Kirchoff's and Ohm's laws. The gain, then, of this amplifer is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance. It is an inverting amplier in this configuration. In some configurations, the emitter resistor is zero ohms. This does not mean the gain is infinity - it now means that the gain is limited by the gain of the transistor, which it is anyway - the emitter resistor is used to stabilize the gain and reduce dependency on individual transistor gains, which do vary.


How do you calculate the current gain of a transistor JFET?

FETs don't have current gain as no current flows through the gate. The gain of a FET is a voltage gain and is called mu.


Why CC configuration is preferred for buffering?

it is noninverting and while it gives no voltage gain it gives a large current gain.


What is the common transistor configuration used for signal amplifier?

Class A amplifiers for signals and class AB for power output. The bias is often set up as a self biased amp.


Why Bypass capacitors used in electronic amplifier?

A: A transistor needs a bias or voltage to operate in a linear region unfortunately that is detrimental to gain so by bypassing this emitter voltage the AC gain can be improved.
