Bias is a permanent voltage, applied to the input of an amplifier device, in order to make it work in the correct area of an amplification curve. Valves (thermionic tubes) and semiconductors (transistors) both use bias in their grid or base connection. A negative swing in the input could put the control input below the working of the device and cause it to switch off. This is undesirable as it will show as distortion. The bias raises the zero point, so that the signal will not turn the device off.

Why emitter bias circuit is called self bias?

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.
