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.

An emitter follower has a voltage gain that is?

.7v less than unity for DC operation but unity for AC.


Why CB amplifier preferred for high frequency than CE amplifier?

1)in cc configuration we use to get the low output impedence where as in ce we use to get the high output impedence. 2)in cc amplifier we use to have the voltage gain equal to unity where as in ce amplifier we use to have the high voltage gain. 3)in cc amplifier there is high power gai which is used for impedence matching where as in ce amplifier due to the high voltage gain the impedence matching is less impossible.


What happens if amplifier is connected t a DC voltage?

It will depend on the which kind of amplifier it is ,if it is made from Op amp(Non inverting Amplifier) it will simply amplify(multiply)the signal with a factor depend on the configuration of circuit which is also known as gain of the circuit.For instance if gain is 2(dimension less) and input DC voltage is 2 Volt output would be 4 Volts. and if it an Audio or RC coupled amplifier output would be zero Hence i Wrote in the starting "It will depend on the which kind of amplifier it is"


What are common uses of a common emitter amplifier?

bcause amplification factor beta is usually ranges from 20-500 hence this configuration gives appericiable current gain as well as voltage gain at its output on the other hand in the Common Collector configuration has very high input resistance(~750 kilo ohm) & very low output resistance(~25 ohm) so the voltage gain is always less than one & its most important application is for impedance matching for drivingh from low impedance load to high impedance source


What are the steps involved in finding the signal gain for a common-emitter BJT amplifier?

The signal gain of a CE BJT amplifier is hFe or collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, whichever is less.

What is meant by swamped amplifier?

A swamped amplifier has a resistance tied to the emitter of the NPN transistor. Swamping the amplifier reduces the voltage gain. When an amplifier is swamped the voltage gain to the output is less dependent on the load. This helps to balance the output and protect the circuit when different loads might be applied.

Why voltage gain of a common collecter amplifier is 1?

actually it is slightly less than 1, due to base-emitter forward bias voltage.

Why transformar is not called an amplifier?

because it does not amplify anything, it transformers voltage and current. "amplifier" implies that input powe is increased at the output by increasing the voltage or current, or both. With a transformer, power in equals power out minus losses. The power "gain" of a transformer is always less than 1, if you want to think of it in amplifier terms.

Why the voltage gain of an FET amplifier is generally less than that obtained using BJT amplifier?

A FET (Field Effect Transistor) is mainly used when the input signal needs to be isolated from the output. A FET has a very high input resistance, so very little current is required from the input. Voltage gain is not the main objective when using a FET.


Why do you use feedback?

The voltage gain,input impedance,output impedance,bandwidth etc. are the characteristics of amplifier's. these are more or less constant for a given amplifier. These parameters are required to be controlled. This can be done by using feedback that's why we use feedback.


Frequency response curve of RC coupled amplifier?

at low frequency less than 50hz the voltage gain decreases with decreasing frequency and at mid frequency{50hz to 20khz} the voltage gain is uniform because resistor value are independent of frequency change and at the high frequency votage gain falls.

What is the difference between cb and ce configuration of a npn bjt?

Both configuration works as amplifire, yet with following charactristics.1. CB configNon inverting amplifierCurrent gain is always less than unityVoltage gain can be high, which is function of output and input impedance.Ic/Ie is always less than unity2. CE config Inverting amplifierTypically used as voltage amplifier since it can have large voltage gainModerate current gain
