for a collector to base biased circuit find the stability factor s?what is the effect on s for change in current amplification factor?
The Self Bias of the BJT is also called the voltage divider bias. It is called thus because it can stabilize the collector current, the base emitter voltage and the amplification factor.
On the emitter there is base current which is basically a function of Beta and only at that particular current. Unfortunately the beta factor is a non linear function and it is strictly related to collector current
This arrangement is called SELF-BIAS. Now, if an increase of temperature causes an increase in collector current, the collector voltage (VC) will fall because of the increase of voltage produced across the load resistor (RL). ... One of the most widely used combination-bias systems is the voltage-divider type
In order to bias a bipolar junction transistor on, you need to forward bias the base-emitter junction at the same time you forward bias the collector-emitter junction, and the ratio of collector current over base current must be somewhat less than hFe, the transistor's gain. This is known as saturated, or non-linear mode, operation. In practice, we drive the base much harder than the calculated required current, so as to minimize dependency on varying hFe's for various transistors.Turning the transistor off is a simple matter of eliminating the base current.In the case of the NPN transistor, the base and collector would need to be more positive than the emitter. In the case of the PNP, they would need to be more negative.

The voltage or Potential divider bias or the self bias circuit is the best biasing technique because,it has very low stability factor(change in collector current with respect to Ico or Vbe or current gain beta). only in this technique the increase in temperature wont affect the collector current.
Assuming you mean a bipolar junction transistor (BJT): 1. Reverse bias on the collector-base junction. 2. Forward bias on the base-emitter junction, that is 3. Sufficient to give the correct operating point of collector voltage/collector current.
In order for a transistor to operate as a switch, the base-emitter current must be greater than the collector-emitter current divided by a factor of hFe. In this state, the transistor operates in saturated mode, fully turning on.

If emitter-base is reverse biased then there will be no amplification effect on collector-emitter. If collector-base is forward biased, it will act like a diode, but without emitter-base current, that is meaningless.
Base-Current Bias (Fixed Bias) The first biasing method, called BASE CURRENT BIAS or sometimes FIXED BIAS, was used in figure 2-12. As you recall, it consisted basically of a resistor (RB) connected between the collector supply voltage and the base. Unfortunately, this simple arrangement is quite thermally unstable. If the temperature of the transistor rises for any reason (due to a rise in ambient temperature or due to current flow through it), collector current will increase. This increase in current also causes the dc operating point, sometimes called the quiescent or static point, to move away from its desired position (level). This reaction to temperature is undesirable because it affects amplifier gain (the number of times of amplification) and could result in distortion, as you will see later in this discussion. Self-Bias A better method of biasing is obtained by inserting the bias resistor directly between the base and collector, as shown in figure 2-13. By tying the collector to the base in this manner, feedback voltage can be fed from the collector to the base to develop forward bias. This arrangement is called SELF-BIAS. Now, if an increase of temperature causes an increase in collector current, the collector voltage (VC) will fall because of the increase of voltage produced across the load resistor (RL). This drop in VC will be fed back to the base and will result in a decrease in the base current. The decrease in base current will oppose the original increase in collector current and tend to stabilize it. The exact opposite effect is produced when the collector current decreases.
