What is input impedance of CE?
The input impedance of an amplifier is the input impedance “seen” by the source driving the input of the amplifier. If it is too low, it can have an adverse loading effect on the previous stage and possibly affecting the frequency response and output signal level of that stage.

What is the difference between CB and CE configuration?
CE amplifier has a high input impedance and lower output impedance than CB amplifier. The voltage gain and power gain are also high in CE amplifier and hence this is mostly used in Audio amplifiers.
Why should input impedance be high?
The high impedance ensures that it draws very little current. It is the amplifier’s task to convert a low energy, voltage-driven signal into a higher-voltage output signal. Low impedance circuits can be dangerous because of the high current draw that they produce. Op amps avoid this by having very high input impedance.
Why is CE configuration preferred?
Common emitter circuit is preferred over a common base circuit in amplifiers because the resistance of the common emitter circuit is much less than that of the common base circuit. Also the power gain in the common emitter circuit is much higher than that in a common base circuit.
What are the characteristics of a CE transistor?
In CE Configuration, the Emitter terminal of the transistor will be connected common between the output and the input terminals. The variation of emitter current (I B) with Base-Emitter voltage (V BE ), keeping Collector Emitter voltage (V CE) constant.
How are CE, CB and CC amplifiers used?
1. CE, CB and CC Amplifiers: An amplifier is used to increase the signal level. It is used to get a larger signal output from a small signal input. Assume a sinusoidal signal at the input of the amplifier. At the output, signal must remain sinusoidal in waveform with frequency same as that of input.
What are the characteristics of a base emitter transistor?
The variation of emitter current (I B) with Base-Emitter voltage (V BE ), keeping Collector Emitter voltage (V CE) constant. The variation of collector current (I C) with Collector-Emitter voltage (V CE ), keeping the base current (I B) constant.
What is the output impedance of a common emitter?
The moderate output impedance of the common-emitter configuration helps make it a popular choice for general use. The Low output impedance of the common-collector is put to good use in impedance matching, for example, transformerless matching to a 4 Ohm speaker. There do not appear to be any simple formulas for the output impedances.
