    Understanding Input and Output Resistances of an Amplifier with Feedback"

    Hi, Suppose I have an amplifier with feedback, how would I measure the input and output resistances (using instruments)? If the input of the amplifier is a voltage source, the input resistance would simply be V(signal) / I(signal). Now if the output of the amplifier is a current, would I...

    Working of BJT as an amplifier: concept

    How does a small change in base current result in a large change in collector current in a BJT? Please explain in terms of movement of electrons (in NPN). Most textbooks I have referred say that the reason is low resistance of emitter-base and high resistance of collecter-base. However i cannot...

    How do resistor values affect the operation of a BJT transistor?

    I'm really confused between saturation and amplifier. When will the transistor work in saturation mode and in amplifying mode? Resistors are the matters. We chose the resistors so that the transistor will work in saturation or amplifying. How can we chose?

    Testing an Inverting Amplifier Circuit with R1 = 10k and R2 = 100k

    I have attached an image of an inverting circuit. If I set R1 = 10 k ohms and R2 = 100 k ohms, I need to verify if this circuit works or not. Therefore, would the voltage between points A and B be equal to 0.1 V since B is connected to ground? The voltage input is 0.1 volts. Thank you
