Challenge Problems
Push your limits with advanced challenges
Design a simple common emitter amplifier circuit with given parameters. Calculate the lower and upper cutoff frequencies based on given capacitance and resistance.
💡 Hint: Follow the RC formula!
You have an amplifier where lowering the capacitance at the input increases the lower cutoff frequency significantly. Discuss how this affects the amplifier’s ability to amplify low-frequency signals.
💡 Hint: Consider the relationship between capacitance and frequency.
