Confused About Transistors: Pi Hybrid & Small Signal Equivalents

AI Thread Summary
Pi-hybrid models are indeed used for small signal analysis in transistors. They serve similar purposes as T-small signal models, both representing the behavior of transistors under small signal conditions. Understanding these models is crucial for analyzing transistor circuits effectively. The discussion emphasizes the importance of grasping these concepts for academic success in electronics. Clarification on these models can significantly aid in studying transistors.

Hi everyone. I am starting to study transisors at Uni. and I am confuse in some main concepts. i thought about posting it here so someone can help me up. are pi hybrid signals equivalent circuits used with the same porposes as small signals equivalent circuits? or are pi hybrid signals, small signals??

sorry i know it might be sort of a stupid question. ill be very appreciated for any feedback

thankyou

Yes, pi-hybrid model is for small signals. Another commonly used and equivalent model is T-small signal model.
 
thanks for your reply zoki

very appreciated
 
Very basic question. Consider a 3-terminal device with terminals say A,B,C. Kirchhoff Current Law (KCL) and Kirchhoff Voltage Law (KVL) establish two relationships between the 3 currents entering the terminals and the 3 terminal's voltage pairs respectively. So we have 2 equations in 6 unknowns. To proceed further we need two more (independent) equations in order to solve the circuit the 3-terminal device is connected to (basically one treats such a device as an unbalanced two-port...
suppose you have two capacitors with a 0.1 Farad value and 12 VDC rating. label these as A and B. label the terminals of each as 1 and 2. you also have a voltmeter with a 40 volt linear range for DC. you also have a 9 volt DC power supply fed by mains. you charge each capacitor to 9 volts with terminal 1 being - (negative) and terminal 2 being + (positive). you connect the voltmeter to terminal A2 and to terminal B1. does it read any voltage? can - of one capacitor discharge + of the...
