If the input capacitor of a transistor amplifier is short-circuited, then_________________?

Correct answer: B. Biasing conditions will change

  • A. Transistor will be destroyed
  • B. Biasing conditions will change
  • C. Signal will not reach the base
  • D. None of the above

Explanation

The input coupling capacitor normally blocks d.c. while passing the signal; shorting it allows the source's d.c. component to reach the base and alter the transistor's bias. The signal itself would still reach the base, so option c is not correct.
