Working configurations of BJT

1.) Common emitter configuration:

 F1 Engineering Arbaz 29-12-23 D9

In this mode, the input is given to the base whereas the output is obtained from the collector terminal keeping the emitter terminal common.

The input characteristic is plotted between input voltage and input current. The input voltage is VBE and the input current is IB.

2.) Common collector configuration:

COLLECTOR1

In this mode, the input is given to the base whereas the output is obtained from the emitter terminal keeping the collector terminal common.

3.) Common base configuration:

F1 Engineering Arbaz 29-12-23 D11

In this mode, the input is given to the emitter whereas the output is obtained from the collector terminal keeping the base terminal common.
