Question 1

What is the formula used to calculate voltage gain in a common emitter amplifier?

  • A_v = R_C / R_E
  • A_v = g_m Γ— R_C
  • A_v = I_C Γ— V_CC

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider the key parameters that dictate how voltage gain is achieved.

Question 2

Is it true that increasing I_C increases the voltage gain?

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Focus on the relationship between current and gain metrics.
