In circuit A the signal form mic AC (very low amplitude )

AI Thread Summary
In circuit A, the low amplitude AC signal from the microphone is combined with a DC voltage (Vbb) to drive a BJT, amplifying the signal before it reaches the loudspeaker. In circuit B, the same AC signal is combined with a DC voltage source and sent directly to the loudspeaker, theoretically increasing the amplitude but lacking the amplification benefits of the BJT. The BJT in circuit A provides necessary amplification and impedance matching, ensuring the microphone can effectively drive the loudspeaker. Directly connecting a DC source to a speaker would not produce audible sound, as the speaker would only respond to the varying AC signal from the microphone. Therefore, while circuit B may increase voltage, it fails to deliver an effective audio signal compared to circuit A.

consider two circuits:
In circuit A the signal form mic AC (very low amplitude ) is combined with Vbb(to drive the BJT), as the two voltage sources are series they adds up and its amplitude increases and it is passed to bjt and then to loudspeaker.

in circuit B the signal form mic AC (very low amplitude ) is combined with V(DC voltage source) so voltage source in series adds up and its amplitude increases it is directly passed to the loudspeaker without BJT.

my doubt is:
I find in the amplification circuits BJT is used. by the above second method the voltage amplitude increases by combining the low amplitude signal from the mic with an external DC source, as the voltage increases current increases(I=V/R) so in that case the a high amplitude signal reaches the loudspeaker in circuit B.
THEN WHAT ROLE THE BJT plays in CIRCUIT A, what happens if CIRCUIT B IS BROUGHT UNDER PRACTICE.

You should not connect DC to a speaker, but even if you did, the sound from the speaker would only be caused by the small varying signal from the microphone.
You probably would not hear anything.

A speaker has very little resistance, so if you placed this directly across a microphone, the microphone would produce very little signal because the microphone has a comparatively high internal resistance.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
