NPN Transistor Tutorial

If a suitable DC "biasing" voltage is firstly applied to the transistors Base terminal thus allowing it to always operate within its linear active region, an inverting amplifier circuit called a single stage common emitter amplifier is produced. One such Common Emitter Amplifier configuration of an NPN transistor is called a Class A ...

The Fundamentals of Capacitors in AC Circuits

Capacitors in AC circuits play a crucial role as they exhibit a unique behavior known as capacitive reactance, which depends on the capacitance and the frequency of the applied AC signal. Capacitors store electrical energy in their electric fields and release it when needed, allowing them to smooth voltage variations and filter unwanted frequencies. They are …

Introduction to the Inductively-Loaded Class A Power Amplifier

A generic inductively-loaded common-emitter amplifier. Note the polarity on each side of C 1. When the transistor sources an AC current of i c, a positive AC voltage of R L i c appears at node B. Accounting for the DC voltage of the capacitor, we observe that the overall voltage at node A is V CC + R L i c. Similarly, when the transistor sinks an AC current of i c, …
