Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Given a common emitter amplifier with R_E = 2kΞ© and R_C = 10kΞ©, calculate the voltage gain assuming g_m = 0.035 S.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Plug values into the voltage gain formula.

Question 2

If the emitter resistor must be reduced to recover gain, what might happen if it is made very small? Discuss possible circuit behavior.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider thermal stability and sensitivity factors in transistor circuits.
