Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a basic amplifier circuit, focusing on understanding its function and operation. Participants are exploring concepts related to circuit analysis, including Thevenin's Theorem, transistor theory, and biasing in amplifiers.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Exploratory

Main Points Raised

  • One participant requests help in identifying the circuit's function and describing its operation, indicating a lack of understanding due to insufficient instruction from their tutor.
  • Another participant emphasizes the need for the original poster to show their own work before receiving help, adhering to forum rules.
  • A participant mentions using Thevenin's Theorem for resistors R1 and R2 and discusses the quiescent point of the BC108 transistor, suggesting that the input signal is amplified at the common-emitter terminals.
  • Further elaboration is requested on how resistors R1, R2, and R4 set the bias for the NPN transistor, and how R3, R4, and C3 influence the amplifier's gain.
  • There is a suggestion to analyze the effects of capacitors and resistors on amplifier bandwidth and to draw Ic vs. Vce curves for a small-signal transistor.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants have not reached a consensus, as the original poster is still seeking clarification and additional help on the circuit analysis, while others are providing guidance and suggestions for further exploration.

Contextual Notes

The discussion includes references to specific circuit components and theoretical concepts, but there are limitations in the original poster's understanding and the need for further research to fully grasp the operation of the circuit.

Who May Find This Useful

Students studying electronics or circuit analysis, particularly those seeking assistance with amplifier circuits and related theoretical concepts.

Hello every body

I am new members in here

I hope you will eccept me as a good member


I study electronic in college...

I have got this task and I can't answer it

The reason why because the tutor didn't explain to us how it's work ...

he wan't us to answer it using the internet or other peaple to help ??


so If anyone don't mind helping me to answer it

and explain to me how it work

I will be very pleased to him


You are provided with a single stage circuit and associated circuit diagrams, (Fig.2 below). With reference to the circuit briefly answer the following:

1) Identify the circuit’s function.



2) Using the circuit diagram component reference number briefly describe the operation of the circuit.

thank you very much

and I am waiting for the answer

If anyone could help me !

I would be very greatfull for him

Welcome to the PF, khalid. Homework and coursework questions need to be posted in the Homework Help forums here on the PF, and not in the general forums like the EE forum. I've moved your thread into the Homework Help forums.

Also, an important PF rule is that you must show some of your own work before we can help you. We do not provide answers here on the PF, but we can provide tutorial help. So tell us what you know about the circuit...
 
hi berkeman

As you can see down this is the work I have done for those answer ??

In analyzing the circuit, you would need to use Thevenin's Theorem for R1 and R2. You will also need to know basic transistor theory.

Rth = R1 || R2
Vth = 9*(22/104)

Then you can locate the DC quiscent-point of the circuit via the BC108 transistor's characteristic curves. With an AC input before capacitor C1, the quiscent point will move along the load line and give a proportional voltage output at the common-emitter terminals, which is just the input signal amplified. Below is a general picture of what I am talking about:

This post was just meant to give you the general idea about what I have done
. Also I will have to do a bit more research to understand the operation completely.

Can anyone help me please ?

That's a better start. Now explain how R1, R2 and R4 set the bias for the NPN transistor. And then explain how R3, R4 and C3 set the gain through the amplifier. And explain the effects of C1, R1, R2, and C2 and R3 on the amplifier bandwidth. And using typical specs for a small-signal transistor like a 2N3904, draw the Ic vs. Vce curves like you show, with appropriate Beta gain considerations in the fan of lines, and draw the load line, and show how if varies with frequency.
 
thank you very much Mr berkeman

you really make me happy

that's very kind of you

I'll do my best to answer it

I will do what you told me

thx again
