I do realize that the Thevenins method is for loading effects and the voltage-divider method is for unloaded effects. But I have come across questions where they do not mention whether the circuit is loaded or not.

As I know it to be, it is basically simplifying the circuit using Thevenins Theorem. Problem is I don't know where to use it. From the examples I've worked it seems as if I can use this method OR the voltage divider method. But in some instances, there is a considerate difference in my...

I used to be a Game of Thrones fan. Now I am hooked on Stargate Atlantis :cool:

There is a difference of 0.31mA. Is this still acceptable? Can I also use these methods interchangeably? (Voltage Divider Method and VTH/RTH Method)

It makes perfect sense now. It was not explicitly stated that the capacitor is a coupling capacitor. I assumed that it was a bypass capacitor. But I was aware that the load resistor could represent an external device. To answer your question, we need a coupling capacitor because current tends...

I am aware that there are two methods of working out IE for a Voltage-Divider circuit. The first is...

If you have a passion for both, ME and EE, then I suggest you look at Mechatronics. It's basically a combination of both EE and ME, with basics in Computer Science. There's a lot of demand for this fields

I wasn't planning on doing anything. I just wanted to know what role the Load Resistor plays. I am aware that if the Load Resistor is removed, the bypass capacitor shorts the emitter.

I am aware that at Common Emitter, the bypass capacitor shorts the emitter to ground. But why is the emitter not shorted in the Common Collector? Does the Load Resistor play a fundamental role? I'm just asking out of curiosity.

Hi There, I've just flipped back to the section on common emitter and saw that there was no load resistor with the bypass capacitor. It was my error. I did manage to find the Re formula. It was in small writing with not much detail. Another thing I would like to mention. In a common collector...

I have worked on an example earlier today. It's the section on BJT Amplifiers. I have been studying the sub-section on Common-Collector Amplifier. I've come across a rather peculiar formula, which has not been mentioned anywhere in my prescribed textbook besides a worked example. Here is the...
