The purpose of capacitor between emitter to ground is to permit the transis tor to function in the depletion region without the elimination of the Q point.

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.


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.


Why we use emitter resistance in circuits?

The emitter resistor is connected to ground(in the case of an rc coupled amplifier).Also input signal applied at the base is grounded.Then the emitter resistor forms a feedback to the input signal (through the ground return path).So emitter resistor is also called feedback resistor.


What is the function of a bypass capacitor in an amplifier?

Bypass capacitors are used to bypass (shunt) unwanted signals to the ground. A common use is in power supplies where a bypass capacitor is connected in parallel with the main filter capacitor to shunt noise and other high frequency interference to ground which the main capacitor may not be able to do.


Why does the bypass capacitor decrease the input impedance in common emitter amplifier?

You would use a supply bypass capacitor in a common collector amplifier... It's necessary, to give the positive supply rail a direct AC connection to ground. Without it, I don't think the amplifier would work properly. However, if you're using a power supply and not a battery, then chances are that it HAS a big capacitor inside it, eliminating the need for any external capacitor.

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 use of capacitor Ce across emitter resistance?

It can be used as a feedback and to ground unwanted signals and frequencies


What is the emitter bypass capacitor?

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.

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 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 do you mean by common emitter configuration and biasing pnp transistors?

A common emitter BJT transistor has the emitter ground. So u measure input voltage at base with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter and also u measure the output voltage at collector with respect to the ground, i.e; emitter. Hence, the emitter is common and thus the name.


How do you wire a capacitor to an amp?

Positive post of capacitor is connected to the heavy amp cable. The ground terminal (or case) of the capacitor is connected to the car's ground or a ground wire that leads to the car's chassis. That's it.

Circuit diagram for fixed bias circuit?

need to use BC107 transistor which has three terminals base, collector and emitter........ collector is connected with 6.8k ohm resistor other end of this resistor is connected with 3.7 ohm resistor and it is connected to the base of the transistor which is already connected to a capacitor of 1 micro F and a positive of function generator......and in the output side i.e in the collector and emitter side connect the 1 micro F capacitor and 10 kohm resistor and connect the CRO...... then other to the ground.......
