Yes. DC biasing a transistor is necessary to force it to operate in its' linear region. What you have written is true.

Discuss how bipolar junction transistor used as a voltage amplifier?

A bipolar junction transistor (BJT) can be used as a voltage amplifier by operating it in the active region, where it can increase the voltage of an input signal. In this configuration, a small input voltage applied between the base and emitter controls a larger current flowing from the collector to the emitter. The output voltage is taken across a load resistor connected to the collector, and the amplified output can be significantly higher than the input. The gain, or amplification factor, depends on the transistor's characteristics and the configuration of the circuit, such as common-emitter or common-collector arrangements.


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 is junction capacitance of collector to base junction is lower than base to emitter junction?

The collector base depletion zone is wider than the emitter base depletion zone.

Who collector base current when emitter is off?

When the emitter of a bipolar junction transistor (BJT) is off, the collector-base junction is typically reverse-biased, meaning that the collector current is minimal or negligible. In this state, the collector-base junction does not conduct significant current because the emitter does not provide carriers to the base. As a result, the collector current is effectively zero, and the transistor is in its cutoff region.

What component develops the output signal in a common emitter amplifier?

The voltage drop across the emitter-collector junction develops the output signal with the help of a resistor or two in series. The output is 'seen' at the collector.

What is the difference between a CB amplifier and CE and emitter-follower?

I think you mean a common emitter amplifier, which is an amplifier of voltage. Emitter-follower or common collector amplifiers are used to match impedances, or to amplify power or current. The emitter-follower is a type of common emitter circuit that has a resistor between the emitter and ground. The output signal is taken from the point between the emitter and its resistor.


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.


Explain why the collector voltage is approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short?

The collector voltage is not necessarily approximately zero when a transistor has a collector-emitter short. It depends on whether or not there is an emitter resistor.A typical collector-emitter circuit has two resistors, one in the collector and one in the emitter. One or both of them might be zero, i.e. not present, depending on design requirements. The collector-emitter junction represents a third resistor, the value of which is dependent on base-emitter vs collector-emitter current ratios and hFe.If the collector-emitter junction is shorted, then this circuit degrades to a simple voltage divider, or single resistor, and the collector-emitter voltage differential will be approximately zero. Simply calculate the voltage based on the one or two resistances.Results could be different than calculated, if the resistors are small in camparision to the shorted impedance, and it could be different depending on the base to emitter or collector relationship in that fault state, though the latter case is usually negligible due to the relatively high resistances of the base bias circuit.

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.
