A common emitter BJT transistor has the emitter ground. So u measure input voltage at base with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter and also u measure the output voltage at collector with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter. Hence, the emitter is common and thus the name.

Which out of either the cccb or the ce configurations of a transistor is best and why?

The common emitter configuration works best because of the way the segments of transistors are biased, and the fact that there are more carriers in the collector than in the emitter.

What is the relationship between common base and common collector?

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.


What are the three basic transistor connection configuration modes?

The three basic transistor connection configuration modes are common emitter, common base, and common collector. In the common emitter configuration, the emitter terminal is common to both the input and output circuits, providing high voltage gain. The common base configuration has the base terminal common to both circuits, offering high frequency response but low voltage gain. Finally, the common collector configuration, also known as an emitter follower, provides current gain and high input impedance while maintaining unity voltage gain.


Why biasing is needed at all?

Biasing is used in a transistor amplifier circuit in order to place the transistor as nearly as possible in the center of its linear region. Transistors have cutoff, linear, and saturation regions. Too little bias current, and you enter cutoff - Too much, and you saturate. Both conditions cause distortion when you attempt to use the transistor as an amplifier, as opposed to a switch.


Why you ground common terminal of transistor?

Grounding the common terminal of a transistor, typically the emitter in a common-emitter configuration or the source in a common-source configuration, establishes a reference point for the circuit. This allows for stable operation by ensuring consistent voltage levels, which is crucial for accurate signal amplification and biasing. Grounding also helps minimize noise and interference, improving the overall performance of the transistor in the circuit. Additionally, it simplifies the design and analysis of the circuit by providing a clear reference for other components.

What will happen if instead of npn transister pnp is used?

It really depends on the configuration of the circuit. A transistor can be connected in any of at least 3 configurations: common base, common emitter, and common collector. Each of these type of configurations determines where the source of electron flow is connected. After that, the biasing configuration needs to be determined, and this will change depending on whether you are using an NPN or PNP transistor. In the simpler biasing configurations, swapping a NPN for a PNP or vice versa will prevent current from flowing as the collector, base, and/or emitter will be reverse or forward-biased incorrectly. You would then either be blocking currently flow, or possibly causing a short circuit. Again, it depends on the configuration. Generally speaking, it is not a good idea. One potential result is you can damage the transistor or even destroy it or possibly damage other components in the circuit.
