One of the main advantages of using the emitter bias configuration has to do with the Q-points. With changes in the current gain, those Q-points don't change. Since the collector current accounts for 99% of the emitter current, we come up with a 1% margin of error, much better than the 5% we can get with the fixed-base bias configuration and Ic and Vce do not fluctuate as well.
why we use base resistor in emitter bias
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
It is a bias of a fixed voltage supplied by a separate low-power bias supply. Early radios used a 9 v tapped bias battery. In some amplifiers fixed bias can be dispensed with and the bias voltage is derived from one of the currents in the circuit.
Fixed Bias,Self Bias, Forward Bias, Reverse Bias
We bias the common emitter amplifier to have a collector-emitter voltage of one half of Vcc in order to set the operating point halfway between the two extremes.
negative feedback
common emitter using fixed bias
emitter bias provides a feedback to the circuit so that circuit remains in linear regionn
a capacitor that bypasses a BJT's emitter bias resistor so the emitter is at AC ground but has a DC bias voltage on it to set operating conditions. without the bypass, the bias would not stay constant.
The emitter bias circuit is called self-bias because the bias voltage across the emitter-resistor is based on the transistor's own characteristics. The bias voltage adjusts itself based on the varying collector current to stabilize the operating point of the transistor. It is a self-adjusting mechanism that helps maintain a stable bias point for the transistor.

why we use base resistor in emitter bias
Emitter bias, often used in transistor amplifier circuits, provides advantages such as improved thermal stability and consistent operating points, as it reduces the sensitivity of the biasing to variations in transistor parameters. However, its disadvantages include increased complexity in the circuit design due to the need for additional components and potential issues with bias point drift caused by temperature changes affecting resistor values. Additionally, it may not be as effective in high-frequency applications where rapid response is needed.
as we know that in reverse bias condition no current is produced and if it produced by the minority charge carrier then also the current produced is in very less amount so u can say that emitter current will reduced to large extend as compare to emitter current in forward bias condition
To overcome the disadvantages of fixed bias configuration, one can implement voltage divider biasing, which provides better stability against variations in transistor parameters and temperature changes. Additionally, using feedback mechanisms, such as emitter feedback bias, can enhance linearity and improve thermal stability. Incorporating a bypass capacitor may also help maintain gain while improving AC performance. Overall, these methods can significantly mitigate the limitations associated with fixed bias setups.

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.
