 • Summary
This experiment shows the Common Emitter Amplifier circuit and the
voltage, current, and power gain you can get from this circuit and their
characteristics, typically used as a voltage amplifier. It offers high current
gain, medium input resistance, and high output resistance.

• Equipment’s

Transistor (BC337), Resistors, Resistance decade box, Connecting wires,

Voltmeter, Ammeters, DC power supply, function generator, capacitors.

• Objectives
1. To design a common emitter transistor (NPN) amplifier circuit.
2. To find the voltage and current gain to the (BC337) transistor.

• CONCLUSION
After this experiment, we find that the Common-Emitter small-signal
amplifier is have a good voltage gain among the three amplifiers and it
shows a 180-degree phase difference between the input and the output,
Amplifiers are very helpful in increasing a small signal, whether its voltage,
current or power to become a larger signal.
