Would you prefer to use a transistor as a common base or a common emitter amplifier?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

A common emitter transistor amplifier is preferred when we require better current gain and power gain. But common base transistor amplifier is preferred when we require better voltage gain without any phase change of singnal voltage.
