BJT - CE AMPLIFIER
AIM:
To Measure the Voltage gain of CE amplifier.
APPARATUS:
S
THEORY:
The CE amplifier provides high gain &wide frequency response. The emitter lead is
common to both input & output circuits and is grounded. The emitter-base circuit is forward
biased. The collector current is controlled by the base current rather than emitter current. The
input signal is applied to base terminal of the transistor and amplifier output is taken across
collector terminal. A very small change in base current produces a much larger change in
collector current. When +ve half-cycle is fed to the input circuit, it opposes the forward bias of
the circuit which causes the collector current to decrease, it decreases the voltage more –ve.
Thus when input cycle varies through a -ve half-cycle, increases the forward bias of the circuit,
which causes the collector current to increases thus the output signal is common emitter
amplifier is in out of phase with the input signal.

PRECAUTIONS:
1. While doing the experiment do not exceed the ratings of the transistor. This may lead
to damage the transistor.
2. Do not switch ON the power supply unless you have checked the circuit connections
as per the circuit diagram.
3. Make sure while selecting the emitter, base and collector terminals of the transistor.
