    Date:

    AIM:- To draw the input and output characteristics of transistor connected in CE


    configuration.

    APPARATUS:-
     Transistor-BC 107
     Resistor – 1KΩ
     Dual RPS (0-30 V)
     Voltmeters (0- 20 V) – 2
     Ammeters (0 – 200 mA, 0 – 200 µA)
     Bread board
     Connecting wires
     CRO and Probes

    THEORY

    A transistor is a three terminal device. The terminals are emitter, base, collector. In
    common emitter configuration, input voltage is applied between base and emitter terminals
    and output is taken across the collector and emitter terminals. Therefore the emitter terminal
    is common to both input and output.

    The input characteristics resemble that of a forward biased diode curve. This is
    expected since the Base-Emitter junction of the transistor is forward biased. As compared to
    CB arrangement IB increases less rapidly with VBE. Therefore input resistance of CE circuit is
    higher than that of CB circuit.

    The output characteristics are drawn between I C and VCE at constant IB, the collector
    current varies with VCE up to few volts only. After this the collector current becomes almost
    constant, and independent of VCE. The value of VCE up to which the collector current changes
    with VCE is known as Knee voltage. The transistor always operated in the region above Knee
    voltage, IC is always constant and is approximately equal to IB.

    The current amplification factor of CE configuration is given by

    PROCEDURE:-

    TO FIND THE INPUT CHARACTERISTICS:

     Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


     Initially the supply voltages VBB and VCC are kept at 0V.
     VCE Voltage is kept at 0V and VBB is varied in steps and corresponding current IB is noted
    down along with VBE.
     The experiment is repeated for VCE =1 volt and 2 volts.
     For a fixed value of VCE graph is plotted between VBE and IB.

    TO FIND THE OUTPUT CHARACTERISTICS:

     Connections are made as per the circuit diagram.


     Initially the supply voltages VBB and VCC are kept at 0V.
     IB current is kept at 10µA and VCC is varied in steps and corresponding current IC is noted
    down along with VCE.
     The experiment is repeated for IB=20µA, IB= 40µA and IB=60 µA.
     For a fixed value of IB graph is plotted between VCE and IC.
