No the base emitter circuit is not the same as a common base circuit. The three BJT circuits all have the base emitter circuit. Wheter each terminal is common to both inputs and outputs of the circuit determines the type of transistor configuration.Henry Lee Everson PE;229-560-9769

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 in common collector amplifier however you change value of resistance not amplifier in voltage?

The question does not quite make sense. It sounds like you are asking why does changing the emitter resistor in a class C common collector amplifier not affect the output voltage? If so, the answer is that the common collector is an emitter follower, meaning that the emitter will follow the base, less the base-emitter junction voltage, within the limits of hFe. The resistor is simply there to ensure output biasing when the base voltage goes low.


Why output voltage in common base amplifier is in phase to input voltage?

The output of a common emitter stage is inverted, it is not out of phase.


Why input gain of an amplifier is doubled from output gain?

The gain of a transister stage is determined by its biasing circuit design. The emitter of a transistor is affected by the input signal on the base. If the base forward biases the transistor, the emitter feels the potential of the colector. If the base reverse biases the transistor, the emitter is isolated from the collector and feels the potential of the emmiter biasing circuit. The output signal at the emmiter is representitive of the signal on the base, 180 degrees out of phase. The amplitude of the output signal will be larger, depending on the biasing circuit design.


What are common uses of a common emitter amplifier?

bcause amplification factor beta is usually ranges from 20-500 hence this configuration gives appericiable current gain as well as voltage gain at its output on the other hand in the Common Collector configuration has very high input resistance(~750 kilo ohm) & very low output resistance(~25 ohm) so the voltage gain is always less than one & its most important application is for impedance matching for drivingh from low impedance load to high impedance source

Why base in grounded in common emitter transistor as amplifier?

With a common emitter amplifier it's the emitter that is usually grounded.


Why use a npn transistor in a common emitter bjt single stage amplifier circuit?

You can use an npn or a pnp bjt in a common emitter amplifier circuit. The decision of which one to use is based on whether you want the collector and base to be more positive (npn) or more negative (pnp) than the emitter.


Why output of common emitter amplifier is inverted?

In a common emitter amplifier, the base-emitter current causes a corresponding collector-emitter current, in the ratio of hFe (beta gain) or collector resistance over emitter resistance, which ever is less. Since this ratio is usually greater than one, the differential collector current is greater than the differential base current. This results in amplification of the base signal. As you increase the base-emitter current, the collector-emitter current also increases. This results in the collector being pulled towards the emitter, with the result that the differential collector voltage decreases. This results in inversion of the base signal.


Why there is 180 degrees phase shift in common emitter amplifier?

In the common emitter amplifier, an increase of base-emitter current causes a larger increase of collector emitter current. This means that, as the base voltage increases, the collector voltage decreases. This is a 180 degree phase shift.

What is the explanation for the working CE BJT amplifier?

In electronics, a common-emitter amplifier is one of three basic single-stage bipolar-junction-transistor (BJT) amplifier topologies, typically used as a voltage amplifier. In this circuit the base terminal of the transistor serves as the input, the collector is the output, and the emitter is common to both (for example, it may be tied to ground reference or a power supply rail), hence its name.

What is the difference between common base emitter transistor and common base transistor?

Common base transistor if the emitter is open current Ie=0 but a small collector current thus exist.this current is reversed biased collector to the base voltage it is represented by Icbo while common emitter is d base terminal is open circuit and the base junction is reversed biased current Icbo flow from the tcollector to the emitter in the external circuit this current is called leakage current.
