Draw the circuit diagram to study the characteristic of npn transistor in common emitter configuration. Sketch typical input characteristics, output characteristics for such a configuration. Explain how the current gain of transistor is calculated from output characteristics.

Dear Student,

Circuit diagram of common emitter configuration :


Input characteristic curve :


Output characteristic curve :


The current gain β can be obtained by drawing a vertical line as shown at any given VCE.Then, we should find the change in collector current IC corresponding to two given valuesof IB. Thus,β=ICIBVCE=constant
