🔍 Key Concepts

• Identify which transistor terminals are connected to Vcc and RL in figure A. • Recall that a transistor’s collector circuit is usually set up so that the collector-base (and thus collector-emitter) junction is reverse biased in a basic amplifier. • Compare what part of the transistor is actually affected by Vbb and Rb versus what part is affected by Vcc and RL.

💭 Think About

• Trace the path of current from Vcc → RL → transistor → Vbb/ground. Which junction (emitter-base or emitter-collector) does this path primarily set the voltage across? • Ask yourself: does Vcc with RL directly control the small forward bias needed at the base-emitter junction, or does it instead establish the larger voltage across the collector circuit for amplification? • Look at what Vbb and Rb are doing in figure A. Once you know which junction they bias, you can infer what junction is being set up by Vcc and RL.

✅ Before You Answer

• Verify which lead at the top of the transistor symbol is the collector and which at the bottom is the emitter in this NPN configuration. • Confirm whether Vbb and Rb are connected into the base-emitter path; if so, then Vcc and RL must serve a different biasing function. • Make sure you distinguish between forward bias (current easily flows across a PN junction) and reverse bias (junction is held at a higher voltage but with minimal current) when deciding what Vcc and RL are doing across the emitter-collector path.
