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.

∙ 13y agoThe output of the common emitter amplifier is inverted because, as base-emitter current increases, so does collector-emitter current, which pulls the collector towards the emitter, i.e. down, making it an inverting amplifier.

Which transistor mode gives the inverted output?
common-emitter
What is the difference between a CB amplifier and CE and emitter-follower?
I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.
What component develops the output signal in a common emitter amplifier?
The voltage drop across the emitter-collector junction develops the output signal with the help of a resistor or two in series. The output is 'seen' at the collector.
Why is common emitter is greater than common collector?
Common-emitter gives more voltage gain because a common-collector amplifier has a voltage gain of 1. But a common-collector can have a power gain because the input impedance is much more than the output impedance.
What is the function of an emitter?
emitter collects output current produced in resister Wrong. An emitter in a semiconductor emits majority current carriers (electrons or holes) into the junction between it and the base..
Why output voltage in common base amplifier is in phase to input voltage?
The output of a common emitter stage is inverted, it is not out of phase.
Which transistor mode gives the inverted output?
common-emitter
Am amplifier that inverts the signal between input and output is called a what?
common emitter

What is invertion?
An inverting amplifier is one where the output is an inverted function of the input. The Class A transistor amplifier, also known as common-emitter, is inverting. As you increase the voltage on the base, the output voltage on the collector decreases. The operational amplifier has an inverting and a non-inverting input. In typical bridge mode, the output is inverted with respect to the (inverting) input, and the non-inverting input is used to reject common-mode input signals by moving the virtual ground point as needed.
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 component develops the output signal in a common emitter amplifier?
The voltage drop across the emitter-collector junction develops the output signal with the help of a resistor or two in series. The output is 'seen' at the collector.
What is the phase relationship between the input and output signals of the common collector amplifier?
Common emitter is the only transistor configuration that has an 180 degree phase difference between input and output. Common base and common collector outputs are in phase with the input.***********************************That is incorrect.The output of the common emitter is inverted, there is no phase shift.
What if base current is zero in a transistor used as an amplifier with common emitter configuration?
output current is zero
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.
What are the characteristics of a common emitter amplifier?
There are a number of characteristics found in a common emitter amplifier. Not only are the parameters considered, but also their performance. Characteristics and performance are: voltage gain/ medium; current gain/ medium; power gain/ high; input / output phase relationship/ 180 degrees; input resistance/ medium; and output resistance/ medium.
What are the disadvantages of using common emitter amplifier?
Disadvantages of CE amplifier:1. It has a high output resistance.2. It responds poorly to high frequencies.3. It has high thermal instabilities.4. It's voltage gain is very unstable.
