The function of BiasingA BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) require a voltage normally in the range of 0.7V for the internal junctions to become conductive. It is a fixed parameter of Silicon (Si) due to the amount of 1.1eV required to get electrons from the valence energy band into a conductive band. To be able jump the energy gap which is a forbidden band for electrons or to raise the Fermi energy level in the atom. The energy, whether it is electrically applied, thermally or optically, is required to be able change the state of a semiconductor from an insulator to an conductor. You can read more on "semiconductor theory" for better understanding.

Then with a non-linear relationship the conductivity will increase as one increase the forward bias current through the base to emitter junction. Biasing is used for classical transistor amplifier applications. Biasing is required to have the transistor half way saturated for Class-A amplification or barely switched on for Class-B power amplifiers. If a Class-B amplifier is not biased, then the lower 0.7V of the audio or sine wave will not be amplified causing crossover distortion. When you bias it correctly, the distortions will be gone, since the entire half wave will then fit into the on state of the transistor. If a Class-A amplifier is not correctly biased, premature clipping on the positive or negative part of the wave will occur.

Biasing may be used for other applications as well, such as photo transistors, internal construction of IC's such as op-amps.

What is the forward biasing of a junction?

Forward biasing can be satisfied when a positive polarity of a battery connect with P side and the negative connect with N side In the P-N junction, that is caused : The free electrons in the N side will pushed by negative charge, and holes move far of positive charge, after that we will have a barrier (small area of barrier between P and N) this biasing called Forward biasing, because of small resistance of barrier, the current will flow, we can use it as a switch. the Reverse biasing is the opesit of all these specifications.

What is significance of stability factor in biasing of BJT?

Stabity factor is not a circuit.It is a parameter,which decides the ability of Biasing circuits,to keep the Q-pt stable in the center of DCLoadLINE.It should be as low as possible


What is biasing?

if applying to people, something or some one who has been influenced in a particular way, could be an unfair way. If applying to objects, something that might cause the object to lean in a particular direction.


Why voltage divider biasing circuit is the widely used biasing?

In a voltage -divider circuit method for biasing a transistor , we have two resistors R1 and R2 a DC supply voltage VCC and other components like collector resistor , emitter resistor are also present.here biasing is done by the help of voltage drop across the resistorsto understand the reason behind the extensive usage of voltage - divider method we need to know about the term stability.Stability factor of a transistor is defined as the ratio of amount of change in collector current to the amount of change in the same collector current with the base open(leakage current due to minority charge carriers)lesser the stability factor ------ that type of biasing is more desiredthe stability factor for voltage divider method is nearly equal to one.

What is meant by biasing a diode?

Biasing a diode refers to the process of applying a voltage across its terminals to control its conductive state. Forward biasing occurs when the positive terminal of the voltage source is connected to the anode and the negative to the cathode, allowing current to flow through the diode. Conversely, reverse biasing connects the positive terminal to the cathode and the negative to the anode, preventing current flow. Proper biasing is essential for the diode to function effectively in circuits, such as rectifiers and signal modulation.
