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

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

Circuit A utilizes a BJT (Bipolar Junction Transistor) to amplify a low amplitude AC signal from a microphone by combining it with a Vbb voltage source, resulting in a higher amplitude signal sent to the loudspeaker. In contrast, Circuit B directly combines the microphone's AC signal with a DC voltage source, which increases the signal amplitude but lacks the amplification benefits provided by the BJT. The discussion highlights that while Circuit B may increase voltage, it does not effectively drive the loudspeaker due to the absence of proper amplification, leading to minimal sound output. The BJT in Circuit A is crucial for ensuring that the varying signal from the microphone is effectively amplified for audible output.

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.
