The capacitor helps to keep the quiesent point fixed. During its operation it bypasses the ac component. If the ac also flows through this emitter link then as we know by parameter equations emitter current and ce voltage changes hence varying q point.

Why does the emitter bypass capacitor increase the voltage gain?
In the common emitter configuration, gain is hFe or collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, whichever is less. Placing a capacitor across the emitter resistor effectively makes the emitter resistor less, for higher frequencies, so the gain is higher for higher frequencies. This creates a high pass filter, or a low cut filter, depending on what you want to call it.
What happens when the emitter bypass capacitor is shorted?
Then gain becomes equal to hFe and thermal runaway becomes a problem. Further, the reduction of gain as frequency decreases is eliminated, so the stage's operation as a high pass filter is compromised.
What is use of capacitor Ce across emitter resistance?
It can be used as a feedback and to ground unwanted signals and frequencies
How does capacitor improves the performance of a circuit?
This depends on what kind of circuit you have. Generally, you cannot just add a capacitor to a circuit and 'improve it'. Probably, though, you mean an amplifier, anf by improve, you mean improved frequency response. In a transistor amplifier, you sometimes want increased gain at higher frequencies. By adding a capacitor from the emitter to ground, you create a low impedance path to ground for the AC signal. This lowered emitter impedance increases the gain of the amplifier, for frequencies where the capacitor looks like a low impedance, or high frequencies.
What is the difference between a standard capacitor and a coupling capacitor?
Coupling capacitors are used to couple different stages so as to prevent DC from the o/p of one stage to go into the i/p of the next stage. For instance in coupling two BJT (bipolar junction transistors) it is required to use coupling capacitor to allow only ac signal from the o/p of fisrt stage to go to i/p of next BJT as incoming dc can distrub the biasing of the other BJT. Bypass capacitors are used to bypass the ac signal to ground. A capacitor is connected b/w the gnd and the wire. For ac signal capacitor will behave as short and will bypass it. However dc will not be bypassed as capacitor will behave as open for DC.
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
Capacitor from emitter to ground in common emitter circuit is called?
The capacitor is called a bypass capacitor , it provides a low impedence path for AC emitter current to groun.
Why bypass capacitor is used in common emitter ampifier circuit?
If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....
What do you mean by emitter bypass capacitor?
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.
What is the function of emitter bypass capacitor in common emitter amplifier?
The emitter bypass capacitor in a common emitter amplifier will have less resistance as the frequency increases. Since gain in this configuration is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance (within limits of hFe), the gain will thus increase for higher frequencies, making this into a high pass filter.
What is the effect of bypass capacitor on frequency response?
Gain in a CE configuration of a BJT is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, subject to the limit of hFe. The emitter bypass capacitor will have lower impedance at high frequency, so the gain will be higher at higher frequency, making this a high-pass amplifier.
What is the effect on voltage gain in a common emitter amplifier when the decoupling capacitor is removed?
The emitter bypass capacitor, in a typical common emitter configuration, increases gain as a function of frequency, making a high pass filter. Removing the capacitor will remove the gain component due to frequency, and the amplifier will degrade to its DC characteristics.
What is function of emitter bypass capacitor?
A: THE EMITTER resistor sole function is to provide stability if it is by passed by a capacitor then this resistance will change due to frequency since as frequency increases the impedance decreases. The total gain will change accordingly
What is purpose of emmiter bypass capacitor in R-C coupled amplifier?
Emitter bypass capacitor is a capacitor which provide low impedance to AC and high impedance to DC . AC is shunt then only DC appears on RC and volage gain increses.
What is the difference between voltage gain obtained with bypass capacitor and without the bypass capacitor?
A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input
Why is gain affected when the bypass capacitor is open?
Applied input signal at the base of the amplifier appears across the emitter resistor (RE) due to inter electrode capacitance so it should be bypassed the emitter resistor (RE) through the bypass capacitor (CB). unbypassed signal will be amplified (common emitter amplifier) and reverse back from the emitter to the collector through the base, amplified signal from the emitter to the collector (common emitter amplifier) is 1800 out of phase to the amplified signal from the base to the collector (common base amplifier), so reduced the gain.
Why does the emitter bypass capacitor increase the voltage gain?
In the common emitter configuration, gain is hFe or collector resistance divided by emitter resistance, whichever is less. Placing a capacitor across the emitter resistor effectively makes the emitter resistor less, for higher frequencies, so the gain is higher for higher frequencies.
