Best Answer

The emitter bypass capacitor in a common emitter amplifier will have less resistance as the frequency increases. Since gain in this configuration is collector resistance divided by emitter resistance (within limits of hFe), the gain will thus increase for higher frequencies, making this into a high pass filter.

What is the output resistance of common emitter amplifier with emitter resistor and without bypass capacitor?

Without a bypass capacitor it is just equal to Rc


What is the effect on voltage gain in a common emitter amplifier when the decoupling capacitor is removed?

The emitter bypass capacitor, in a typical common emitter configuration, increases gain as a function of frequency, making a high pass filter. Removing the capacitor will remove the gain component due to frequency, and the amplifier will degrade to its DC characteristics.


What is the function of a coupling capacitor?

A coupling capacitor is used to block the flow of direct current while allowing alternating or signal currents to pass, hence mainly used for joining two stages in radio and amplifier circuits.Also known as blocking capacitor or stopping capacitor. They are also used in substations within a "wave trap" where communication is done by a.c. power line and any d.c. signals need to be attenuated or blocked.


How do you bypass Clarion vrx486vd?

If by bypass you mean bypass the handbrake wire required to use the DVD player function or screen for av input then you will either have to connect it to your handbrake as directed or connect it to a switch that is earthed. then when you want to use it you have to flick the switch off, wait 1 second and flick it back on.


Can you bypass capacitor in line voltage?

Sure, depending on the type of circuit used, a cap may not be used at all. If you could provide some more detail as to the application, we could answer the question more accurately. In fact, a coil (or inductor) is more commonly used in 'line' voltages. It provides a 'stiffening' effect to help keep the line voltage at its desired value.

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.


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.


What is purpose of emmiter bypass capacitor in R-C coupled amplifier?

Emitter bypass capacitor is a capacitor which provide low impedance to AC and high impedance to DC . AC is shunt then only DC appears on RC and volage gain increses.


What is function of emitter bypass capacitor?

A: THE EMITTER resistor sole function is to provide stability if it is by passed by a capacitor then this resistance will change due to frequency since as frequency increases the impedance decreases. The total gain will change accordingly


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.


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.


Why bypass capacitor is used in common emitter ampifier circuit?

If a bypass capacitor is used the voltage drop across emitter resistance is reduced which in turn increases the gain.....


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 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.


What is the difference between voltage gain obtained with bypass capacitor and without the bypass capacitor?

A: A TRANSISTOR gain is determined by current flow on the collector by adding a resistor to the emitter this current flow is reduced by adding or bypassing this resistor with a capacitor the net effect is that this emitter resistor will be reduced in value as frequency increases therefore change gain as a function of frequency input
