$$\text { Figure } 17

Question

$$\text { Figure } 17 < 4$$ -If C₃ opens in Figure 17-4,________ A) the voltage gain decreases B) the voltage gain increases C) the dc emitter voltage decreases D) the dc emitter voltage increases

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When C₃ opens, the input signal voltage at the base of the transistor decreases. This causes a decrease in the collector current, and consequently a decrease in the voltage gain. The dc emitter voltage may change, but it is not directly affected by the opening of this circuit. Therefore, the correct answer is A.

Figure 17<4\text { Figure } 17 < 4 Figure 17<4 -If C3 Opens in Figure 17-4,________ A) the Voltage Gain

$\text { Figure } 17 < 4$ -If C₃ Opens in Figure 17-4,________
