Draw a simple circuit of a CE transistor amplifier. Explain its working. Show that the voltage gain, A_(v), of the amplifier is given by A_(v)= -(beta_(ac) R_(I))/(r_(i)), where beta_(ac) is the current gain, R_(L) is the load resistance and r_(i ) is the input resistance of the transistor. What is the significance of the negative sign in the expression of the voltage gain ?

Answer»

Solution :`V_(c c)=V_(cg)+I_(c )R_(z)`
Likewise, the input loop gives
`V_(B B)=V_(B B)+I_(B)R_(B)`
Where `v_(i)` is not zero, we get
`V_(B B)+V_(i)=V_(B B)+I_(B)R_(B)+Delta I_(B)(R_(B)+r)`
The change in `V_(Bg)` can be related to the input resistance `r_(i)` and the change in `I_(g)`.
Hence,
`v_(i)=Delta I_(B)(R_(B)+r_(i))`
`v_(i)=r Delta I_(B)`
The change in `I_(B)` causes a change in `I_(C )` . We define a parameter `beta_(ax)`, which is similar to the `beta_(dc)`

`beta_(ac)=(Delta I_(C ))/(Delta I_(B))=(i_(c ))/(i_(b))`
which is also known as the ac current gain `A_(C )`. Usually `beta_(ac)` is dose to `beta_(dc)` in the linear region of the output characteristics.
The change in `I_(c )` due to a change in `I_(B)` causes a change in `V_(CE)` and the voltage DROP across the resistor `R_(L)` because `V_(C C)` is FIXED.
These CHANGES can be given by
`Delta V_(C C)=Delta V_(CE)+R_(L) DeltaI_(C )=O`
or `DeltaV_(CE)= -R_(L)Delta IC`
The change in `V_(CB)` is the output voltage `v_(O)`. We get
`v_(O)=Delta V_(CE)= - beta_(ac)R_(L)Delta I_(B)`
The voltage gain of the AMPLIFIER is
`A_(v)=(v_(o))/(v_(i))=(Delta V_(CB))/(r Delta I_(B)) implies A_(v)= - (beta_(ac)R_(L))/(r )`
The negative sign indicates that output is phase reversed by an ANGLE `180^(@)`.
