Common Base, Common Emitter and Common Collector

Circuits

OBJECTIVE

Bipolar junction Transistor is a type of transistor that uses two semi-conductor types,
n-type and p-type. An important application of the BJT is amplification. Different
ways of connection deliver a new function for the transistor; such as common base,
.common emitter and common collector circuits

HYPOTHESIS AND RULES

:Hypothesis
?does the BJT act as a voltage or current amplifier •
?does the BJT act similarly in the different given circuits •
:Rules
a common emitter circuit is a circuit containing a BJT whose emitter is connected to -
.the ground
a common base circuit is a circuit containing a BJT whose base is connected to the -
.ground
a common collector circuit is a circuit containing a BJT whose collector is connected-
.to the ground

EQUIPMENT USED AND ROLE OF EACH

Pspice.It is a tool to design and develop analog circuits and to simulate the behavior -
.of a circuit
Ground used as the reference from where the voltages are measured in electric -
.circuits
DC voltage source to supply the circuit with the needed voltage-
Resistors which are passive components used to control the flow of current through -
.an electric circuit
Capacitors. a capacitor is a passive two terminal electronic component that stores -
electrical energy is an electric field
.AC voltage sources (Vsin) to supply the circuit with the needed AC signal -
.voltage and current probes to allow measurments of voltages and currents -
NPN and PNP transistors are bipolar junction transistors, and it is a basic electrical -
and electronic component which is used to build many electrical and electronic
