Semiconductor Electronics Materials Devices And Simple Circuits Ques 71

71. A npn transistor is connected in common emitter configuration in a given amplifier. A load resistance of $800 $ $\Omega$ is connected in the collector circuit and the voltage drop across it is $0.8$ $ V$. If the current amplification factor is $0.96$ and the input resistance of the circuit is $192$ $ \Omega$, the voltage gain and the power gain of the amplifier will respectively be :

Answer:

Correct Answer: 71.(a)

Solution:

  1. (a) Given: amplification factor $\alpha=0.96$

load resistance, $R_L=800 $ $\Omega$

input resistance, $R_i=192$ $ \Omega$

So, $\beta=\frac{\alpha}{1-\alpha}=\frac{0.96}{0.04} \Rightarrow \beta=24$

Voltage gain for common emitter configuration

$A_v=\beta \cdot \frac{R_L}{R_i}=24 \times \frac{800}{192}=100$

Power gain for common emitter configuration

$P_v=\beta A_v=24 \times 100=2400$

Voltage gain for common base configuration

$A_v=\alpha, \frac{R_L}{R_P}=0.96 \times \frac{800}{192}=4$

Power gain for common base configuration

$P_v=A_v \alpha=4 \times 0.96=3.84$

Transistor provides good power amplification when they are used in $CE$ configuration. $CC$ configuration amplifier is a power amplifier or current booster.
