EDC Practical 3

This document describes an experiment to study the input and output characteristics of a transistor in a common emitter configuration. The experiment involves connecting a transistor, resistors, and DC power supplies in a circuit to measure the input voltage (VBE) and current (IB) and output voltage (VCE) and current (IC) for different input and output conditions. Graphs of the input characteristics (VBE vs IB) and output characteristics (VCE vs IC) will be drawn from the measured data to understand the transistor operation in the common emitter configuration.
