E7B12
What type of amplifier circuit is shown in Figure E7-1?
- A.Common base
- B.Common collector
- C.Common emitter (correct answer)
- D.Emitter follower
WhyFigure E7-1 shows a common emitter amplifier circuit. Figure E7-1 shows a common emitter amplifier: the input signal enters at the base (through C1), and the output is taken from the collector (through C2), with the emitter resistor R3 providing the bias stabilization typical of this configuration, answer C. It isn't common base (input at the emitter) or common collector/emitter follower (output taken from the emitter instead of the collector).
