Question 1

What initiates the thermal runaway phenomenon in CE amplifiers?

  • Increased input signal
  • Higher temperature leading to increased beta
  • Reduced supply voltage

💡 Hint: Think about the relationship between temperature and transistor behavior.

Question 2

True or False: Emitter resistors can negatively affect the gain of an amplifier.

  • True
  • False

💡 Hint: Consider the trade-off between stability and performance.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with challenges.

Question 1

Design a common emitter amplifier that incorporates emitter degeneration. Discuss how you would balance the need for gain against the need for stability.

💡 Hint: Focus on the formula for gain in relation to resistor values.

Question 2

Critically assess the impact of beta variability with temperature in different scenarios (e.g., high vs low-temperature environments) on a CE amplifier's performance.

💡 Hint: Consider the extreme temperature ranges and how they could affect commercial applications of the amplifier.
