The negative sign in the formula of amplification factor indicates that the emitter current (ie) flows into the transistor while the collector current (ic) flows out of it. This is a characteristic of transistor operation, where the direction of current flow in the emitter is opposite to that in the collector, leading to the negative sign in the amplification factor formula.
