Output form Transistor Amplifier
The below fig shows the common emitter transistor amplifier. There are two ways of taking output from the transistor amplifier. The output can be taken either across RC or across terminals 1 and 2. In either case the magnitude of output is the same.
Suppose if we take the output across load resistor RCin the collector circuit i.e.
Output = Voltage across RC = ICRC …………………… (4)
This method of taking output from collector load is used only in single stage amplifiers. The output can also be taken across terminals 1 and 2
VCE = VCC – ICRC …………………. (5)
From this VCC is a D.C. Voltage and cannot pass through capacitor CC therefore only varying voltage IC RCwill appear across terminals 1 and 2.
Output = ICRC
From expression (4) and (5) it is clear that the magnitude of output is the same whether takes output across collector load or terminals 1 and 2. The minus sign in expression (5) simply indicates the phase reversal. The second method of taking output is used in multistage amplifiers.
