THEORY:
A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals are emitter, base, collector. In
common emitter configuration, input voltage is applied between base and emitter terminals and
out put is taken across the collector and emitter terminals. Therefore the emitter terminal is
common to both input and output.
The input characteristics resemble that of a forward biased diode curve. This is
expected since the Base-Emitter junction of the transistor is forward biased. As compared to
CB arrangement IB increases less rapidly with VBE. Therefore input resistance of CE circuit is
higher than that of CB circuit.
The output characteristics are drawn between Ic and VCE at constant IB. the collector
current varies with VCE unto few volts only. After this the collector current becomes almost
constant, and independent of VCE. The value of VCE up to which the collector current changes
with V CE is known as Knee voltage. The transistor always operated in the region above Knee
voltage, IC is always constant and is approximately equal to IB. The current amplification factor
of CE configuration is given by β = ΔIC/ΔIB

PROCEDURE:

(i) INPUT CHARACTERSTICS:


1. Connect the circuit as per the circuit diagram.
2. For plotting the input characteristics the output voltage VCE is kept constant at 1V and
for different values of VBE, note down the values of IB.
3. Repeat the above step by keeping VCE at 2V and 3V.
4. Tabulate all the readings.
5. Plot the graph between VBE on x-axis and IB on y-axis for constant VCE.
