Objectives:
The objectives of this experiment are to
1. Become familiar with bipolar junction transistors (BJTs)
2. Study the biasing of a Common Emitter (CE) amplifier, and
3. Draw the input and output characteristics of a common emitter BJT circuit.

Experimental Procedures:
1. The terminals of the transistor were identified.
2. The circuit connections were made as shown in the above figure.
3. For input characteristics, the voltage VCE was fixed first, the voltage VBB was varied, and the Base
current IB was calculated.
4. For output characteristics, the input circuit was opened at first (i. e. to make IB = 0). The collector
voltage VCC varied in steps of 4V and the Collector current IC were calculated.
5. Now, the input circuit was closed, and the base current IB was fixed at 50μA by varying VBB. The
voltage VCC was varied according to the table, and IC was calculated in each step. The process was
repeated for other values of IB.

Conclusion:
The study examines the behavior and operation of Bipolar Junction Transistors (BJTs) in a CE amplifier
configuration. It examines the relationship between IB and VBE, identifying the base-emitter junction as a
forward-biased diode. The input dynamic resistance is calculated from the ratio of small VBE changes to
small IB changes. The knee voltage where the input characteristic curve rises sharply is determined. The
relationship between IC and VCE is explored for output characteristics, with IB kept constant. The output
dynamic resistance is derived from the ratio of VCE changes to IC changes. Proper biasing is emphasized as
essential for the transistor's function in active, saturation, and cut-off modes. The transistor's operation as an
amplifier in active mode is described, with the emitter junction forward-biased and the collector junction
reverse-biased. In saturation mode, the transistor operates as a closed switch, with both junctions forward
biased. In cut-off mode, both junctions reverse-biased, turning the transistor off. The experiment successfully
demonstrated the key characteristics and behavior of BJTs in a common emitter configuration.
