What are the advantages of common emitter amplifier?
Advantages
- The common emitter amplifier has a low input impedance and it is an inverting amplifier.
- The output impedance of this amplifier is high.
- This amplifier has the highest power gain when combined with medium voltage and current gain.
- The current gain of the common emitter amplifier is high.
Which is the most commonly used transistor configuration Why?
Common-emitter configuration
The most commonly used transistor configuration for use as a switching device is the Common-emitter configuration. Explanation: Transistor: A semiconductor device used to amplify or switch electronic signals and electrical power is called a transistor.
Why is common emitter configuration most preferred for commercial applications?
Common emitter circuit is preferred over a common base circuit in amplifiers because the resistance of the common emitter circuit is much less than that of the common base circuit. Also the power gain in the common emitter circuit is much higher than that in a common base circuit.
Which one is mostly used for amplification?

Which transistor is mostly used?
The MOSFET is by far the most widely used transistor for both digital circuits as well as analog circuits, accounting for 99.9\% of all transistors in the world. The bipolar junction transistor (BJT) was previously the most commonly used transistor during the 1950s to 1960s.
Why does a common emitter configuration of BJT is usually used as an amplifier?
⦁ CE is most widely used because it provides the voltage gain required for most of the day to day applications of preamp and power amps. It also provide the maximum transconductance or voltage gain for a given load.
Why common emitter configuration is preferred in transistor for amplification of signals?
⦁ The common emitter configuration has the highest power gain combined with medium voltage and current gain. The ability of this configuration to increase input signal power by 20dB (100 times) and more is widely used as signal amplifiers in communications.
