Assertion: A transistor amplifier is common emitter configuration has a low input impedence. Reason: The base to emitter region is forward biased. |

Answer» If both the assertion and reason are true and reason is a true explantion of the assertion. The following shows the circuit of a common-emitter amplifier circuit using an `n-p-n` transistor. The INPUT (base-emitter) circuit is forward biased by a low voltage battery `V_(BE)`, so that the resistance of the resistance of the input circuit is small. The output(collector -emitter) circuit is reverse biased by means of a high voltage battery so that resistance of output is high. The weak input `AC` signal is APPLIED across the base-emitter circuit and the amplified output signal is OBTAINED across the collector-emitter circuit. Input IMPEDENCE of common-emitter configuration `=((DeltaV_(BE))/(DeltaI_(B)))V_(CE)`=constant Here, `DeltaV_(BE)`=voltage across base and emitter, `DeltaI_(B)`=base current of the order of few micro ampere. |
