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.

because the current in a capacitive circuit leads voltage and current in an inductive circuit lags voltage. Capacitive reactance cancels out inductive reactance which is caused by motors and Transformers.

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.


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 is different of common emitter amplified with capacitor and without capacitor?

It depends on where the capacitor is located. If it is across the emitter resistor, then the gain of the CE amplifier will be higher at higher frequencies.Remember that gain in the CE amplifier is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, or hFe, whichever is lower. Placing a capacitor across the emitter resistor will serve to make the effective resistance smaller at higher frequencies, resulting in increased gain, up to the limit of hFe.If this is not the intended location of the capacitor, then please restate the question and provide the capacitor location.


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 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

Why would there be a gain when you add the emitter capacitor to a circuit board?

A capacitor has lower resistance (impedance) as frequency increases. Adding an emitter capacitor effectively lowers the emitter resistance as frequency increases. Since gain in a typical common emitter amplifier is collector resitance divided by emitter resistance, this decrease in emitter resistance will increase gain as frequency increases.


How does capacitor improves the performance of a circuit?

This depends on what kind of circuit you have. Generally, you cannot just add a capacitor to a circuit and 'improve it'. Probably, though, you mean an amplifier, anf by improve, you mean improved frequency response. In a transistor amplifier, you sometimes want increased gain at higher frequencies. By adding a capacitor from the emitter to ground, you create a low impedance path to ground for the AC signal. This lowered emitter impedance increases the gain of the amplifier, for frequencies where the capacitor looks like a low impedance, or high frequencies.

Why capacitor reduce gain of ce amplifier?

Where is this capacitor in the circuit?A capacitor across the emitter bias resistor actually increases the AC gain because it bypasses that resistor, by increasing the ratio of collector impedance to emitter impedance which determines the amplifier voltage gain.A capacitor across the base input resistor actually increases the AC gain because it bypasses that resistor, by decreasing the attenuation of the input signal by the input circuit network.


What is the effect in an input impedance of a common emitter amplifier if the bypass capacitor is removed?

The input impedance of a common emitter amplifier is hfe (or beta) times the sum of the emitter resistance, re = kT/qIc, plus the external impedance in series with the emitter. k - Boltzmann's constant, T - degrees Kevin, q - electron charge, Ic - collector current makes the intrinsic emitter resistance about 26 ohms at 1 ma. If the bypass capacitor impedance is much less than 26 ohms at the frequency of interest, then for a beta = 100 transistor operating at 1ma the input impedance is about 2600 ohms at low frequencies ie. 100 * (26 + 0). Say the external emitter resistance is 1K ohm and you remove the bypass cap. The total emitter resistance is now 26+1000 or 1026 ohms and the input impedance is now 100 * (26+1K ohms) or 102.6K ohms.

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.
