4. What is the value of voltage VB of a CC amplifier configuration if VCC = 12V, R1 = 5kΩ and R2 = 8kΩ?
a) 6.54V
b) 0.7V
c) 4.6V
d) 7.38V
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The voltage VB of a simplified common collector amplifier configuration can be calculated using VB = I × R2. Given, VCC = 12V and R1 = 5kΩ and R2 = 8kΩ:
I = VCC / R1 + R2 = 12 / (5 + 8) = 0.92mA
VB = I × R2 = 0.92mA × 8kΩ = 7.38V

5. How do we compute the base impedance of a simplified CC amplifier?
a) β × (Re – re‘)
b) β × (Re + re‘)
c) RB || β × (Re – re‘)
d) RB || β × (Re + re‘)
View Answer

Answer: b
Explanation: The base impedance of a simplified common collector (CC) amplifier can be expressed in terms circuit resistor values. The base impedance is β × (Re + re‘) . Where β is the transistor amplifiers current gain, Re is the equivalent emitter resistance and re‘ is the alternating current resistance of the emitter-base diode.

6. How do we compute the input impedance of a simplified CC amplifier?
a) β × (Re – re‘)
b) β × (Re + re‘)
c) RB || β × (Re – re‘)
d) RB || β × (Re + re‘)
View Answer

Answer: d
Explanation: The input impedance of a simplified common collector (CC) amplifier can be expressed in terms circuit resistor values. The base impedance is RB || β × (Re + re‘) . Where β is the transistor amplifiers current gain, Reis the equivalent emitter resistance, RB is the equivalent base resistance and re‘ is the alternating current resistance of the emitter-base diode.

7. How do we compute the output impedance of a simplified CC amplifier?
a) RE || (re‘ – (R1 || R2) / (β + 1))
b) RE || (re‘ – (R1 || R2) / (β – 1))
c) RE || (re‘ + (R1 || R2) / (β + 1))
d) RE || (re‘ + (R1 || R2) / (β – 1))
View Answer

Answer: c
Explanation: The output impedance of a simplified common collector (CC) amplifier can be expressed in terms circuit resistor values. The base impedance is RE || (re‘ + (R1 || R2) / (β + 1)) . Where β is the transistor amplifiers current gain, Re is the equivalent emitter resistance and re‘ is the alternating current resistance of the emitter-base diode.

8. What is the voltage gain of a simplified CC configuration amplifier if RE = 25kΩ and re‘ = 12kΩ?
a) 0.68
b) 0.59
c) 0.48
d) 0.086
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The voltage gain AV of a simplified common collector amplifier configuration can be calculated using AV = RE / (RE + re‘) . Given, RE = 25kΩ and re‘ = 12kΩ:
AV = RE / (RE + re‘) = 25 / 25 + 12 = 25 / 37 = 0.675 ≈ 0.68

9. What is the approximate value of the voltage gain of a simplified CC amplifier configuration?
a) 1
b) β
c) ∞
d) 0
View Answer

Answer: a
Explanation: The voltage gain of a simplified CC amplifier configuration is approximately equal to unity (AV ≈ 1) and its current gain, Ai is approximately equal to β(Ai ≈ β) which depends on the value of each individual transistors.
