In all base driver amplifiers__________?

Correct answer: A. ac collector voltage is 180° out of phase with ac base voltage

  • A. ac collector voltage is 180° out of phase with ac base voltage
  • B. ac emitter voltage is 180° out of phase with ac base voltage
  • C. ac collector voltage is in phase with ac base voltage
  • D. none of the above

Explanation

In a common-emitter, or base-driven, amplifier, an increase in base voltage increases collector current and the voltage drop across the collector resistor, so collector voltage falls. Therefore, collector and base AC voltages are 180° out of phase.
